Consecrated Life
Consecrated Virgins
The custom of consecrating women to a life of virginity dates back to the time of the very early Church; the rite was revised following the Second Vatican Council.
Today Consecrated Virgins live a life totally dedicated to God through their public consecration to a life of virginity. This is an individual vocation as distinct from one lived in a congregation or institute; it is a vocation lived in the world, under the direction of the Diocesan Bishop.
Consecrated Virgins spend their time in works of penance and mercy, apostolic activity and prayer. They are financially independent of the Church.
Consecrated Widows
Consecrated Widows who desire to give their lives totally to God do so through a vow of celibacy. Financially independent of the Church one lives the life in the circumstances in which one finds oneself and witnesses to God’s love in work and parish.
