As part of the implementation of Regnum Christi\u2019s Strategic Plan in North America, the Mission Support Team<\/a>, a territorial work team that serves and supports the localities in the territory, has announced that they are reorganizing to better align with the vision and goals of the new strategy.<\/p>\n

The vision presented in the Strategic Plan<\/a> focuses on extending the evangelizing impact and reach of Regnum Christi through the growth of localities as communities of apostles in which members live their vocations as catalysts of hope and collaborate with the Church in its mission to transform culture. It proposes working towards greater scope and depth in our evangelization efforts in response to the real needs of society and the Church, particularly in relation to marriage and family.<\/p>\n

As part of the strategy to foster vibrant communities of apostles and grow our apostolic impact, the territory is adjusting the criteria for what constitutes a locality and restructuring the Mission Support Team to provide individualized and tailored support to each of them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to number 54 of the Statutes of the Regnum Christi Federation<\/a>, \u201cA locality is a community of apostles and an operative unit of the Federation at the service of evangelization. It covers a geographic area established by the territorial directive college [which] promotes communion, coordinates resources and efforts, and fosters the common mission.\u201d The territory recognizes that outside of the current 22 localities in North America there are many other places where the mission of Regnum Christi is being lived. In light of this, it is expanding the definition of a locality to include locations of varying sizes\u2014from a location with a couple of thriving Regnum Christi teams to an area with multiple sections and institutions. This means that some areas that had previously been considered ‘diaspora,’ or outside of localities, will now be considered small localities themselves, that they will be supported by the territory in new ways, and that they will be empowered to build a plan to grow and thrive both as a community of apostles and in evangelization.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
