The Office of Consecrated Life strives to carry out the Church’s pastoral concern for the men and women in the consecrated life and to work with them to help achieve the goals set forth in the mission statement of the Archdiocese.

Our purpose is to serve:

Consecrated men and women in areas essential to their spiritual and psychological growth
The Archbishop when the director of the Office of Consecrated Life acts as his representative
The Archdiocese by supporting the apostolates of consecrated men and women accomplished in the context of the local Church.

The Office of Consecrated Life acts as a liaison between the Archbishop and the men and women in various Institutes of consecrated life in the Archdiocese of Saint Louis by supporting the members of the Institutes in fulfilling their unique charism and undertaking their apostolic works. We work in collaboration with the Office of Vocations to promote vocations to consecrated life.
