Consecrated Laity

We are men who, responding to a call from God, give our entire lives to the service of the Church as lay people consecrated to Christ in Regnum Christi, sent to live and spread the good news of being apostles in the social and professional world. With our personal talents and with our profession, we go out to meet others and, together with them, we seek to make the Kingdom of Christ present in society.

Our mission is to make Christ's Kingdom present in the hearts of people and in society as consecrated laity.

By taking private vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, we offer our whole life to Jesus. Our lay consecration wants to show that Jesus fills life with meaning and joy and is within the reach of each and every one of us.

Like Him and with Him, each one of us feels that we are one more brother among men and we dedicate our lives to evangelizing people, society and culture from our professional fields and in collaboration with others.

To the mission of Regnum Christi,
the consecrated laity
we specifically provide:
