Three new territorial directors of Spain, Mexico and Central America, and North America have been appointed. They will have the mission of encouraging, accompanying and guiding the life and mission of the Consecrated Women in their respective territories, in close communion with the other members of Regnum Christi.
The new territorial directors are:
- Spain: Maida Ureta
- Mexico and Central America: Luly Sada
- North America: Katie Tuttle
We are deeply grateful for the territorial directors who were either finishing their terms, or elected to the General Council at the recent General Assembly – Perla González (Mexico and Central America), Kathleen Murphy (North America) and Betty Rivera (Spain). We thank them for their generous dedication and service throughout their years in authority.
These appointments come at a key moment for the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi, after the III Ordinary General Assembly, where the direction for the next six-year term was outlined. This new horizon invites us to deepen the experience of our charism, strengthen fraternal life, and respond with renewed enthusiasm to current apostolic challenges, especially in changing cultural contexts and in the Church’s evangelizing mission.
In each territory, the territorial director will be part of the Regnum Christi Territorial Directive College (TDC), participating in a collegial leadership style together with the territorial director of the Legionaries of Christ, the delegate of the general director of the Lay Consecrated Men of Regnum Christi and two lay members, thus strengthening communion and co-responsibility in the mission.
With these appointments, the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi renew their commitment to serve with fidelity, hope and a spirit of communion, trusting in the action of God who guides their journey and their mission.
