The Year of Consecrated Life (YCL) begins on the first Sunday of Advent, November 30. Internationally the church will be commemorating the year in a wide variety of ways. Many dioceses are marking it with special events recognizing and encouraging the men and women religious who minister within their boundaries.
Communities themselves are planning special prayers, liturgies, study circles, and public events as part of the year. Vocation ministers have already reported to NRVC many types of plans for the year. Following are free resources related to the special year, aimed at recognizing, celebrating, and renewing religious life.
