Instituted by St. John Paul II in 1997, World Day for Consecrated Life is celebrated in conjunction with the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2. Also known as Candlemas Day, this feast commemorates the coming of Christ, the Light of the world, through the symbolic lighting of candles. Consecrated men and women are called to spread the light of Christ through their unique witness of selfless service. #WorldDayforConsecratedLife | United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
