“The consecrated life, especially in difficult times, is a blessing for human life and for the life of the church,” Pope John Paul II writes in ‘Vita Consecrata’ (The Consecrated Life), his apostolic exhortation. To assist those who feel called to the consecrated life, the Office for Consecrated Life lists those Congregations who serve in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Please see listing below.
