Structure

The Sodalitium Christianae Vitae is governed by Constitutions approved by the Holy See. They establish the fundamental structure of the Society. They are called Service Structures because in the various responsibilities that must be exercised, we aspire to follow “the example of the Lord Jesus, who told us that he is with us as one who serves, and of Saint Mary, the Servant of the Lord.”

These structures are similar to those of other Societies of Apostolic Life or Institutes of Consecrated Life approved by the Holy See.
