The Office of the Vicar for Religious and Consecrated Life of the Diocese of Corpus Christi is dedicated to fostering a spirit of communion, collaboration, and mutual support between the diocesan Church and the Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life present within the diocese.
In faithful service to the Church, this office promotes the spiritual welfare, safeguards the canonical rights, and supports the apostolic mission of all Religious and consecrated persons. Through ongoing formation, pastoral initiatives, and spiritual enrichment, we seek to strengthen their response to Christ’s call to follow Him more closely.

As a liaison between the Bishop and major superiors, this office encourages dialogue and unity, while advising the Bishop on matters concerning consecrated life and expressing his pastoral care for all Religious.

Inspired by the spirit of the World Day of Consecrated Life, we remain committed to nurturing the beauty and witness of consecrated life in the Church.

“That they may all be one… so that the world may believe.” ( John 17:21 )
