Feast of Christ the King “Call to Mission Campaign 2021”
Part of our ‘Christ the King’ tradition in Regnum Christi is to kick-off our Call to Mission Campaign.

The funds we provide will help support their operational and capital needs both today and in the future. Our campaign goal for 2021 is $15,000.00 and we are hopeful that 100% of our Regnum Christi families will take part in this campaign with whatever size gift they discern they can donate.
No gift is too big or too small, it’s all about joining together in this initiative for the glory of Christ our King!
