TO REMEMBER,
TO GIVE THANKS,
TO RE-COMMIT
To remember the people, the events, and the journey of the past 40 years.
To joyfully give thanks to God for all the blessings received
To renew commitment to our participation in Christ's mission in our particular circumstance
The Christian Life Community celebrates 40 years of being part of a 400 year old community. In 1600 the Jesuits brought the Sodality of our Lady to the College of Manila. From being a Marian organization, it had its renewal in 1967 with the introduction of the new General Principles and its Christ-centered way of life. The change of name followed as it is now called the Christian Life Community (CLC) .
We have an exciting line-up of events for you!
