In 1970, Vatican II reintroduced into the Rite of Consecrated virginity into Canon Law. It is the most ancient Rite for women in the Catholic Church. Women who pursue this way of life devote themselves to the service of the church while also working to support themselves and their ministries. The Arlington Diocese recently adopted a formation process for Consecrated Virgins in February of 2014. [ Ссылка ]
