World Day for Consecrated Life
February 8, 2009

In 1997, John Paul II called for consecrated life to be promoted throughout the Universal Church. He declared February 2, the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, to be observed as World Day for Consecrated Life (WDCL).

In the United States, when February 2 is not on a Sunday, we celebrate on the Sunday after the Feast.

This year World Day for Consecrated Life is observed on February 8th, Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle B.

The Prayer and Promotional resources below are to assist you in your celebration of World Day for Consecrated Life. May these provide you with ideas to create a meaningful celebration!
