Regnum Christi
Women's Section

Lay members have a unique call to live the Regnum Christi charism in the secular world and transform it throught their witness and apostolic action.

The Houston Women’s Section of Regnum Christi is organized geographically so teams can meet near where members live, fostering community and mission. Each team brings together small groups of women centered in the heart of Christ, supporting one another in living their Catholic faith and growing in holiness according to the Regnum Christi charism. 
 
These weekly “Encounters with Christ” focus on the Gospel, personal reflection, and concrete resolutions to bring Christ’s love into daily life. From these encounters flow friendships, apostolic initiatives, and opportunities to invite others into a deeper relationship with Christ.  
 
The Houston Women’s Section currently has 15 active teams across the North and Southwest areas. 
 
For more information about Regnum Christi team life, please contact one of the section directors.

The 5 Elements of Life in Regnum Christi

Regnum Christi invites members to live their Christian faith actively, with enthusiasm and love. It’s a vocation that helps members live their baptismal commitments and fulfill the mission of being salt & light in the world. All Regnum Christi members develop this way of life in their team life, spiritual life, apostolate, formation, and personal accompaniment. 

(RL 2-5)

Spiritual Life

The core of a Regnum Christi member’s life is to know Christ’s love, love him deeply in return, and share that love with others. All members share a common mission and spirituality, which each one lives according to their identity and specific vocation. On the path of spiritual growth, we have a spiritual director who accompanies us individually in following Christ, as recommended by the Church. Once a year we do a Spiritual Exercises Retreat of several days, and we renew our 'yes' to Christ in Regnum Christi.

Formation

Integral formation is formation in the spiritual, human, intellectual, and apostolic areas of our lives. It allows us to form a strong and rich Catholic worldview, develop our capacity to go deeper in our relationship with Christ and “always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope” (1 Peter 3:15)

Apostolic Life

The mission of a Regnum Christi member covers all aspects of life. It begins with the foundation of building their own relationship with God, living their God-given vocation and state in life as their personal path to holiness, and then impacting the world around them through a life lived in union with God that reaches out to others in evangelization, service, and apostolate.

Accompaniment

Regnum Christi sees personal accompaniment as essential in following Christ. We seek to accompany each other as Christ accompanied people in the Gospel, person-to-person, discerning and following the path of holiness together. Personal accompaniment can be natural and spontaneous, as in friendships, or more formal and intentional, as in Spiritual Direction.

RC Team or Community

Modeled on the first Christian communities, Regnum Christi members gather as communities of apostles to pray, to evangelize, and to support and encourage each other in the living of their Christian vocation. Team life provides a nucleus of spiritual friendship, a community that is there to share the gifts and challenges of daily life with each other, and a group of like-minded apostles who work together to bring the light of the Gospel to those around them.
