At the end of the academic year, the college in Greenville, Rhode Island, will no longer be the formation center in North America for the Regnum consecrated women
Territorial Director for the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi in North America, Nancy Nohrden, made an announcement today with what she described as a “heavy heart.” Mater Ecclesiae College (MEC), the formation center in Greenville, Rhode Island, will be closing at the end of this academic year.
“In a world where there truly is constant change, we sometimes must find new ways to carry out our mission,” she said in a letter sent today to the consecrated women in North America.

Citing fewer vocations and lower than expected enrollment at the college due to the “difficulties and institutional changes” during the last few years and the “reality of our current world,” Nancy said maintaining the college’s NEASC accreditation would be “unviable in the foreseeable future.”
She expressed her thanks to the many consecrated women who have served on the MEC team through the years, and emphasized that Regnum Christi will continue to form the young women in North America who are discerning a vocation to consecrated life in the Regnum Christi movement.
