The World Day for Consecrated Life was instituted by Pope John Paul II in 1997, a day of prayer for those women and men who have devoted their lives to God in consecrated life. It takes place every year on February 2, on the feast of the Lord's Presentation at the Temple. 

In Montreal, you are invited to join Archbishop Christian Lépine and the Consecrated Religious for Mass on  Saturday, February 1, 10:30 a.m. at Mary Queen of the World Cathedral (1085 de la Cathédrale, Montreal, H3B 2V3). Following Mass, the consecrated religious are invited to stay for a day of prayer, reflection, sharing and fellowship. RSVP required. Please contact Soeur Madeleine Rochette, CND, Director of the Office de la Vie consacrée at  SMRochette@diocesemontreal.org.
