Maria Knuth, a Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi, has been named as the director of a new area in the Regnum Christi Mission Support Team<\/a>, RC Lay Member Support.<\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past several years Maria was a part of Regnum Christi\u2019s Strategic Planning Commission and spearheaded the development of the formation pathway project, one of the strategic initiatives of our last strategic plan responding to the need expressed at the RC Territorial Convention in November 2023, and the RC General Convention in May of 2024.<\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The Formation Pathway<\/span><\/a> was unveiled in November of 2024 at the Territorial Section Leadership Convention and at the Regnum Christi Director Summit and is now live on the Regnum Christi <\/span>website<\/span><\/a>.  It includes two principal parts in its <\/span>framework<\/span><\/a>: the portrait of the Regnum Christi lay apostle, and the specific formation plan for lay members in North America. The first part sketches a portrait of what a lay person with the Regnum Christi charism looks like when fully living their lay vocation according to this charism, and the second part maps out steps to get there. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The development of the new area of RC Lay Member Support is a natural continuation of this project as it will promote, safeguard, and support the growth and development of the Regnum Christi lay vocation and ensure the proper formation of its lay members. This area will also create and provide various resources for lay Regnum Christi members.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
