STATUTE REVISIONJan-Jun 2015
The parts of the 2004 statutes of the Regnum Christi Movement which apply to lay members have been collected in a draft and modified with the work done in 2013 by the lay members tasked to give a first revision by Cardinal Velasio dePaolis. This is the working document for continued revision.
Participants must have participated in Illumination to participate in statute revision
Group discussion of the statutes and the themes in them will produce feedback collected locally and given to the territorial coordinator.
TERRITORIAL ASSEMBLYFALL 2015
After all of the feedback from localities and territories globally has been collected in Rome and a new draft of the statute has been produced, each territory will have an assembly of lay representatives review the new draft together and make recommendations to the General Assembly about it.
General AssemblyFall 2016
After the process of revision of the lay statutes is completed, the whole movement ( Legionaries, consecrated and lay members) will continue discernment and dialogue about the aspects of the Regnum Christi Movement that are shared by all branches. These are: Charism Spirituality Mission Nature of Association & Membership Governance of the whole
In a General Assembly of all branches, a new statute will be proposed base don this discernment. At this time, the new statute of the lay members will also be ratified, and will be presented to the Holy See for approval.
LOCAL APPLICATION
The renewal is universal in process and content, but is implemented locally.
Therefore, localities will need to plan to:1.Have local leaders attend the October
Territorial Convention2.Set aside time in the local calendar for the
Illumination and Revision of Statute discussions (at least one meeting a month)
3.Have a local team of lay section directors or appointed lay members who will be responsible for organization, implementation and communication of the renewal process locally.

As we move towards a General Assembly, we will focus on the:
Picture – of where we are going, what being an ecclesial movement in the Church means, how we are called to fulfill our identity and mission
Purpose – the purpose of the next 6 years of living a new reality towards a general assembly
Plan- how the illumination, renewal and revision of statutes for the lay members will work, how the framework for collaboration among the branches of the Movement will work, what apostolically we will focus on together.
Part- how is each branch and each member involved? How are we interrelated? What does this mean for you in your specific branches and roles?
Participants go home with
tools needed to communicate this to their members and integrate/implement these ideas into their planning and work.
