The Church, too, must be a family, bishops, priests, deacons, religious and laity, supporting each other and sharing with each other the individual gifts given by God.
Pope John Paul II,
Heaton Park, Manchester, 31st May 1982

Types of consecrated life

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintEmail

Since the Second Vatican Council, new forms of consecrated life have begun to flourish in the Church. Societies of Apostolic Life, Personal Prelatures and Secular Institutes would fall into this category. Their existence is a response to the growing challenge of our time for the Church to be present in society in as many visible ways as possible. In the Diocese of Salford, the Marian Community of Reconciliation plays a full and active part in the life of the local church.
