Social Justice
The Consecrated Women seek to make present the face of Christ in the daily lives of people through their apostolic availability to form and accompany apostles who want to collaborate in helping those most in need, while affirming the dignity and rights of each person.
Their apostolate
Laura Garza
Laura Garza is from Monterrey, Mexico and was consecrated in 2001. She has worked apostolically with youth in Spain, Brazil, Mexico and currently in Chile. She is the director of the youth section in La Dehesa, Santiago de Chile, where she accompanies young people in the final years of Everest College. She also coordinates the youth section involving university and professional young women and launches them to be apostles. She works with the Mission Central apostolate that promotes social justice and rebuilding homes and lives of the impoverished.
Michelle Gow
Michelle Gow is from the United States and was consecrated 26 years ago. She has worked in Regnum Christi schools since 1998. She currently collaborates in the Integral Formation team of Mano Amiga supporting the coordinators and teachers of Catholic formation in the 21 schools in Mexico and Guatemala. Mano Amiga serves the underprivileged population to form students and families who can transform society.
Patricia Sánchez y Fabiola Marton
When war broke out in Ukraine in April 2022, Regnum Christi in Spain wanted to help those affected through its social work, the Altius Foundation, and organized the Dopomoyich campaign (which means “help” in Ukrainian). In addition to sending emergency aid in the beginning, it facilitated the relocation of Ukrainians fleeing the conflict and seeking refuge in Spain. Together with other partners and supporters, Altius provided transportation, and later also legal advice, Spanish classes, medical and psychological care and shelter for 44 Ukrainians.
Patricia Sanchez Castro and Fabilo Marton supported this work as Consecrated Women, in the midst of full-time study in Madrid. Patricia Sanchez Castro is originally from Cancun Mexico and was consecrated in Monterrey in 2012. She serves in the parish of Our Lady of Silence in the pastoral care of the deaf. Fabiola Marton is from Kempten i. Allgäu, Germany and has Hungarian family roots. She was consecrated in 2008.
In this field of apostolate, the Consecrated Women collaborate in the formation and accompaniment of the most needy and disadvantaged people. We seek to promote the dignity of all individuals, with the goal of achieving a more equitable society. We offer educational programs and projects, we support communities through stable missions to improve the quality of life of the local people, safeguarding their human rights.
