The North American Territory’s new mission assignments for Regnum Christi, including roles in the RC Federation, the Legionaries of Christ, the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi, and the Lay Consecrated Men of Regnum Christi.
We seek to give glory to God and make the Kingdom of Christ present in the hearts of all people and in society, by our sanctification in the state and condition of life to which God has called us, and by personal and communal apostolic action. (#7 Statutes of the Regnum Christi Federation)
Regnum Christi Federation
Territorial Appointments to the RC Federation in the North American Territory From July 2024 to June 2025
The Territorial Directive College is the governing body for the Regnum Christi Federation. It works to ensure that the purpose of the Federation is fulfilled. The Mission Support Team is its territorial level work team charged with supporting the mission in the localities and implementing the strategies, plans and budgets of the Territorial Directive College.
All assignments are for three years unless otherwise noted.

As an alternative to having a local RC Director with personal authority to direct the Federation within the locality, a locality may choose to be directed by a college (SRCF 56 §2). At the local level, a college operates like a board or a committee where authority rests with the body and not with one individual person. In this case, the RC local college is the group of people appointed by the Territorial Directive College to assume the same responsibilities as the local RC Director and RCD Council.
* College appointments are additions to existing colleges.
