The People of God » Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life » Societies of Apostolic Life
Canon 731. §1 Societies of apostolic life resemble institutes of consecrated life. Their members, without taking religious vows, pursue the apostolic purpose proper to each society. Living a fraternal life in common in their own special manner, they strive for the perfection of charity through the observance of the constitutions.

§2 Among these societies are some in which the members, through a bond defined in the constitutions, undertake to live the evangelical counsels.

§1. Institutis vitae consecratae accedunt societates vitae apostolicae, quarum sodales, sine votis religiosis, finem apostolicum societatis proprium prosequuntur et, vitam fraternam in communi ducentes, secundum propriam vitae rationem, per observantiam constitutionum ad perfectionem caritatis tendunt.

§2. Inter has sunt societates in quibus sodales, aliquo vinculo constitutionibus definito, consilia evangelica assumunt.
