The Year of Consecrated Life The Holy Father Pope Francis has proclaimed 2015 to be the Year of Consecrated Life, with a theme “Wake Up the World”, which will begin on November 30, 2014. The diocese has announced that a Prayer Service will be held to recognize those who have professed to lead lives of chastity, poverty and obedience within a permanent state of life recognized by the Church. The Prayer Service, which will serve to locally open the Year of Consecrated Life, which begins on November 30 (the first Sunday of Advent), and ends on February 2, 2016 (the World Day of Consecrated Life), will be held on Sunday, December 7 at 4 p.m. at St. Pius V Parish, 55 Elmhurst Ave., Providence. The Year also marks the 50th anniversary of two foundational documents from the Second Vatican Council: Perfectae Caritatis, a decree on religious life, and Lumen Gentium, the constitution on the Church. Bishop Thomas J. Tobin will preside, and Brother Mark Hilton, SC, will offer a brief reflection. A light reception will follow in the church hall immediately following the Prayer Service.
