Christian Life Movement




Communities of the Christian Life Movement have been spreading throughout Peru and neighboring countries in America ever since. As time went by, with the maturity and the growth of the movement, it received the Holy See's recognition as International Association of Christian Faithful of Pontifical Right. This took place on March 23, 1994, precisely on the feast day of Saint Toribio Of Mogrovejo , who was Archbishop of Lima and Primate of a good part of Latin America between 1580-1606. The pastoral responsibility of Archbishop Saint Toribio extended throughout Latin America from Leon in Nicaragua to Chile and Argentina. Due partly to this, he has been proclaimed Patron of the Bishops of Latin America by the Holy Father.

The Christian Life Movement obtained recognition of the Apostolic See through a Decree of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, presided over by His Excellency Cardinal Eduardo Pironio.

From that moment the expansion of the Christian Life Movement has become increasingly great. There are now many communities and individual members in different countries of America and Europe.
