Society of apostolic life

A society of apostolic life is a form of consecrated life in which a group of men or women within the Catholic Church come together for a specific purpose and live fraternally. This type of organization is defined in the 1983 Code of Canon Law under Canons 731–746. Under the 1917 Code of Canon Law, which preceded the current one, this manner of life was referred to as a society of common life.
