From Our Statutes
Regnum Christi was born as an ecclesial movement of apostolate that seeks to make present the Kingdom of Christ through the sanctification of its members and through a personal and communal apostolic action so that Jesus Christ may reign in the hearts of all people and of society.
The first groups of lay people in Regnum Christi began in 1968, from the invitation, formation and guidance of the priests of the Legionaries of Christ, and the generosity and apostolic dynamism of the laity themselves. These men and women share one charism, moved by the same spirit and the same mission, lived out in their state of life. Aware of their baptismal vocation to holiness and apostolate, they feel called to be apostles and to form apostles, Christian leaders at the service of Jesus Christ, the Church and society. This evangelizing zeal is expressed in works of apostolate and service for the good of all people. FROM PREAMBLE OF THE STATUTES OF THE REGNUM CHRISTI FEDERATION
The 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, their members and the other faithful individually associated with the Federation, belong to Regnum Christi, a spiritual family and apostolic body. FROM THE STATUTES OF THE REGNUM CHRISTI FEDERATION - PART ONE
"Our mission is to form apostles, Christian leaders, to help the Church build up the Kingdom of Christ."
Our mission is to form apostles...
The Legionaries of Christ, the consecrated men and women, diocesan priests, and lay Regnum Christi members form one of the new ecclesial movements raised up by the Holy Spirit and approved by the Church to further the work of evangelization.
We are a spiritual family who love Jesus Christ and what he loves: his Church and souls. We make a commitment to holiness, community, and apostolate, responding to God’s call in our hearts to make building Christ’s Kingdom the central, driving principal of our lives.
We seek to evangelize culture, building a civilization of justice and love. In order to do this, in communion with bishops and local clergy, we form apostles who can exercise Christian leadership and influence others.
We form these apostles by bringing God’s love to them, inspiring them to fall in love with Jesus Christ, helping them come to know the truths of the Catholic faith, and inviting them to participate actively in the evangelization of culture and society. We seek to serve all people and the whole Church, working as Jesus Christ did when he formed a group of apostles and then sent them out to the whole world.
We do this through personalized formation and accompaniment (the sacraments, spiritual direction, coaching and mentoring, etc.), vibrant faith communities, retreats and formation, education, and outreach programs.
