The Regnum Christi Federation is a spiritual family and an apostolic body made up of four different vocations: the religious congregation of the Legionaries of Christ, the Society of Apostolic Life of the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi, the Society of Apostolic Life of the Lay Consecrated Men of Regnum Christi, and the lay members of Regnum Christi who associate to the Federation as individuals.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Every international Catholic organization that is formally approved by the Holy See takes on a specific form or structure that under the jurisdiction of a Vatican dicastery. On May 31st, 2019 \u2014 after years of discernment during which they were advised and guided by representatives appointed by the Holy Father \u2014 the Legionaries of Christ, the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi, the Lay Consecrated Men of Regnum Christi, and the lay members of Regnum Christi received approval for their request to take on the form of a federation. This structure allows the Legionaries of Christ, the Consecrated Men, and the Consecrated Women to have proper autonomy and authority over their own individual vocations and institutions, while providing a shared governance of the common charism and identity of the Regnum Christi spiritual family, and the vocation of the lay members who associate to Regnum Christi.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Becoming a federation provided a canonical structure for a spiritual reality: the shared identity, spirituality, communion, and mission of its members who live four distinct and autonomous vocations.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The Regnum Christi Federation provides unity among the federated institutions and the associated lay members. It seeks to be a vehicle of vocational growth and development for each of them, and for all of them. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">By building and protecting this unity, the Regnum Christi Federation also supports the common mission ignited by the shared charism, and helps its members to flourish in their work of evangelization. The Federation directs and supports the lay members of Regnum Christi and the apostolic works and programs that belong to it, and it also promotes collaboration among all of the evangelizing work done by the members of the different Regnum Christi vocations. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Regnum Christi Federation is made up of over 25,000 members throughout 38 countries world-wide.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><strong>Go Deeper:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Statutes-of-the-Regnum-Christi-Federation-1.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\">Statutes of the Regnum Christi Federation Numbers 1 to 3<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s3\">RC Essay <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/What-Regnum-Christi-Introducing-Federation-ebook\/dp\/B07YYNKC6Q\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=what+is+regnum+christi&amp;qid=1614277570&amp;sr=8-1\"><span class=\"s4\">\u201cWhat is Regnum Christi?: A Regnum Christi Essay Introducing the Statutes of the RC Federation and the Rule of Life for Lay Members\u201d<\/span><\/a> by Fr.

God revealed himself to us as a communion of persons. In the Church, communion isn\u2019t an abstract idea, it\u2019s the concrete, mutual self-giving and sharing of a spirituality in a way that can\u2019t contain itself \u2013 it becomes creative and fruitful, overflows in mission, and through this mission, reaches even more people with the love of Christ, inviting them in to the shared joy of knowing him.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The first Christian communities were a model of what Christ-centered communion is \u2014 people of different vocations, priests, consecrated and lay, who lived a deep and shared spirituality and mutual support that could not be contained to remain just among themselves. It flowed out in mission, evangelizing the corners of the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Regnum Christi embraces a wide range of ages and cultures, as well as four distinct vocations; the religious life of the Legionaries of Christ, the lay consecrated life of the Consecrated Men and Consecrated Women, and the secular lay vocation of the lay members. \u00a0Each one of them shares the same charism, the charism of Regnum Christi, but each has a distinct and definite vocation, a call to fully live the life and mission God has given them. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As members of a spiritual family and an apostolic body called together by Jesus Christ, we are recipients of a gift we share.

The Legionaries of Christ were established in 1941 in Mexico. The first lay members of Regnum Christi joined in 1968 in Spain.

To achieve these goals the Religious Congregation of the Legionaries of Christ, the Society of Apostolic Life of the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi, and the Society of Apostolic Life of the Lay Consecrated Men of Regnum Christi joined together to form the Regnum Christi Federation with which lay faithful who share the same spirit and mission can associate individually.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u201cRegnum Christi thanks God and the Church for this step forward that allows it to better express the communion and co-responsibility of all and impels them forward in the mission of making the Kingdom of Christ present in the world.\u201d (Preamble to the Statutes of the Regnum Christi Federation)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><strong>Go Deeper:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li5\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Regnum-Christi-identity-according-to-the-Statutes.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\">Preamble to the Statutes of the Regnum Christi Federation<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li5\"><span class=\"s3\">RC Essay <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/What-Regnum-Christi-Introducing-Federation-ebook\/dp\/B07YYNKC6Q\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=what+is+regnum+christi&amp;qid=1614277570&amp;sr=8-1\"><span class=\"s4\">\u201cWhat is Regnum Christi?: A Regnum Christi Essay Introducing the Statutes of the RC Federation and the Rule of Life for Lay Members\u201d<\/span><\/a> by Fr.
