The Christian Life Community (CLC) is a worldwide association of Christian men and women, adult and youth from all social conditions. As an Ignatian lay community and inspired by Mary our Mother, we see our mission in the light of our particular vocation. The CLC in the Philippines is imbued with a sense of the Church, and sees its mission in creatively, freely and joyfully participating in the transformation of the Philippines towards a just and humane society.

Our spirituality is centered on Christ and we draw strength and inspiration from the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius (SpEx).With the help of Faith Group Guides provided by CLCP, we live out the Ignatian spirituality in a lay community through daily personal prayer based on Sacred Scripture, discernment through daily review of one's life, regular spiritual direction, active participation in the Eucharist, an active sacramental life and a love for the Mother of God.

We come together on a regular basis to celebrate community life. We relate to each other with trust and openness, respecting the uniqueness of individuals and supporting one another in mission. Our community life assures a deep sharing by members of our faith and human life.

Our ordinary way of discovering how best to bring Christ's presence to our world is through apostolic discernment, that is both individual and communal. We respond to the call of Christ from within the world in which we live. Our lay identity and our mission lie in the Church and the world, in order to bring the gospel of salvation to all people and to serve individual persons and society. We render preferential service to the poor, opt to live a simple lifestyle and celebrate family life.
