Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, better known in Spanish as the "Sodalicio de Vida Cristiana" ("Association, or Fellowship, of Christian Life" in English), is a Society of Apostolic Life founded by Luis Fernando Figari in Lima, Perú, in 1971 and approved by Pope John Paul II in 1997.
The Sodalitium Christianae Vitae (SCV) is composed mainly of consecrated laymen but it also includes priests, who make promises of celibacy and obedience and who live in community. Married couples may also participate. The Sodalitium is closely associated with the Christian Life Movement and the Marian Community of Reconciliation for consecrated laywomen.
