National Conference of Vicars for Religious

Our Mission

The National Conference of Vicars for Religious serves individuals who are appointed by their diocesan bishops to provide pastoral services to men and women who are members of religious institutes and other forms of consecrated life.

​

To accomplish this mission, the Conference meets regionally and nationally to:

• Identify special needs and share expertise and experience

• Honor and value diversity among our members

• Collaborate with other conferences, councils of major superiors, CICL/SAL and other offices which promote consecrated life

• Explore ways to improve communication within the conference and with the public

• Bear witness to the role of consecrated life by promoting its place, value and contributions to the Church
