Religious life and the challenge of building communities that safeguard the dignity of consecrated women and men and those they serve is the focus of a first ever three day international workshop, organised by the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors with the support of key Vatican Dicasteries.

Titled “Building Communities that Safeguard Dignity,” the three day workshop gathers religious Institutes and Conferences of Consecrated Life from all continents at Palazzo Maffei Marescotti in Rome.
