Upon consecration, a woman is betrothed mystically to Christ and is dedicated to the service of the Church, while remaining in a public state of life.

Consecrated virgins live individually and receive direction from the . Their consecration and life of perpetual virginity is permanent. One of the primary goals of consecrated virgins is to point towards a bigger reality: Christ is the ultimate fulfillment. As such, consecrated virgins live out their daily lives as witnesses of this radical love of Christ – not as single persons, but as spouses of Christ.

Their call to a secular state of life means that consecrated virgins have jobs and lives much like that of the average person; they provide for their own needs. Unlike most religious orders, consecrated virgins do not have habits or use the title “Sister.” They remain in their own diocese to serve the local Church community under the authority of the bishop. A consecrated virgin has a particular focus on prayer, which is usually lived out through Mass, Liturgy of the Welcome to all Newcomers and Staff: Hours, spiritual reading and personal prayer.
