Instituted by Saint John Paul II in 1997, the World Day for Consecrated Life invites the faithful to offer prayerful support for all those who have committed them-selves to consecrated life.
Religious life, said Geraldton Emeritus Bishop Bianchini, is very similar to the actions of Mary and Joseph who presented the baby Jesus in the temple.
The 25th anniversary of the establishment of the World Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life was celebrated by religious in the Archdiocese of Perth on Wednesday, 2 February at St Michael the Archangel Chapel. By Amanda Murthy.
