Mission: 
The near-total diminishment of women’s religious life in America has had a far greater impact on the Church’s overall health and vitality than many realize. The mission of Friends of the Bridegroom (www.renewreligious.org) is to assist the healing and expansion of women’s religious life in America and to elevate the place of consecrated women in the broader renewal of the Church.
