Religious Orders Serving in the Archdiocese of Atlanta

"The first duty of the consecrated life is to make visible the marvels wrought by God in the frail humanity of those who are called. They bear witness to these marvels not so much in words as by the eloquent language of a transfigured life, capable of amazing the world." - Pope John Paul II, Vita Consecrata, 20
