Archbishop Robert Carlson calls on religious and laity to stand strong for respecting life in the face of government health care mandate
On behalf Archbishop Robert J. Carlson and the men and women religious serving in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, we welcome you to the Office of Consecrated Life. Through the profession of vows as priests, brothers, sisters, contemplative nuns, consecrated virgins and hermits, our men and women in consecrated life strive to make Christ present in our midst through prayer, sacrifice and ministries including education, healthcare and social service. We invite you to learn more about the 80 congregations of religious represented in the St. Louis Archdiocese by browsing through our website using the links on the lefthand side of the screen. And, if you are considering religious life, we hope you will visit the website of the Office of Vocations as you discern the special plan that God has for your life.
Single Catholic women are invited by the Redemptoristine Nuns in Liguori, Mo., to a week of praying with the Sisters and sharing in their community life. It is a wonderful opportunity to get in touch with the workings of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
