Nancy Nohrden, as general director, and with the consent of her council, has appointed Kathleen Murphy as territorial director of the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi in the North American Territory. She fills the role that was vacated by Nancy Nohrden when she was elected as general director of the society of apostolic life in March. Her appointment will take effect in June 2020, with Naoise Johnson, the interim-territorial director continuing to fill the role until then. As territorial director, Kathleen will also form part of the Territorial Directive Committee of the Regnum Christi Federation.

The Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi in the North American territory will be holding a consultation leading up to the appointment of Kathleen’s new territorial council sometime in the next weeks. The general director has also appointed Sonia Baldwin, who has been serving as the territorial administrator of the North American Territory to be the new general administrator of the Society of Apostolic Life, replacing Beatrice Pimentel.

Several other new territorial directors were appointed globally. The new territorial directors are Beatriz (Betty) Rivera, 42, from Mexico, who replaces Ana López, interim territorial director of Spain since Lourdes Santos was appointed as general secretary; and Kate O’Connor, 41 years old and a Canadian, who will replace Elena Bartolomé as territorial director of Brazil. Elena vacated the role when she was elected general councilor by the 2020 General Assembly.
