Now is the time to plan your commemoration of World Day for Consecrated Life, which takes place February 2 (Feast of the Presentation). The NRVC has information and resources to help communities reflect on and celebrate the beauty of this way of life. Consider using one or more of our resources that help make it easy for your community to reflect on information from the "2020 Study of Newer Vocations to Religious Life."
