"The state of consecrated life is thus one way of experiencing a "more intimate" consecration, rooted in Baptism and dedicated totally to God. In the consecrated life, Christ's faithful, moved by the Holy Spirit, propose to follow Christ more nearly, to give themselves to God who is loved above all and, pursuing the perfection of charity in the service of the Kingdom, to signify and proclaim in the Church the glory of the world to come" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 916). The following pages list the various religious communities of women and men who are represented in the Archdiocese of Vancouver. We also have a page on those called to the single life in the form of lay consecrated communities. We hope that the information provided will help offer tangible ways to help those seeking the "charisms" of the Gospel. |
