Since 1974, the IRL has been a collaborative effort of Catholic bishops, priests, religious and laity to foster and strengthen vocations to the consecrated life.  The Vita Consecrata Institute — an intense summer program of renewal and graduate-level studies on the theology of the consecrated life is part of the IRL outreach.
