Vocation and Formation

This is the initial stage of discernment, where new candidates are welcomed into our community. They live with the sisters and participate in daily prayer, community life, and apostolic activities. This period allows the young women to experience the joy of religious life firsthand.

A time of spiritual awakening and vocational discernment, Aspirancy helps the candidate grow in prayer and community life. It includes spiritual reading, guidance, and an introduction to religious values.

The postulancy is a deeper exploration of the nature of religious life, its obligations, and the charism of the Congregation. It focuses on the postulant's total development—spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and social.

Guidance: Formation is guided by the Postulant Mistress.

During the Regency, postulants actively participate in the apostolic mission of the Congregation. They live in our convents and work alongside professed sisters, gaining real-world experience of religious service.

The Novitiate is the core period of formation, focusing on deep spiritual growth and preparation for vows. It is also a canonical requirement.

Guidance: Guided by the Novice Mistress.

Goal: To discern and respond more fully to God's call

After completing the novitiate, the sister makes Temporary Vows and begins the Juniorate—a time of living the vows in practical life.

After careful discernment and preparation, the sister makes her Final Profession, committing her life to God and the service of others in the Congregation. Formation does not end here. Ongoing formation is essential for the continued growth of the religious, spiritually and apostolically.

The call of God and His consecration continue through a lifetime, culminating in eternal union with Him.
