The Apostolic Life Commission The Apostolic Life Commission serves to implement the mission of the Church - that we, as the Body of Christ, should go forth and make disciples. This is accomplished through implementing, promoting, and supporting parish programs which bring the spiritual and corporal works of mercy to life within our parish, our surrounding community, and our world.
