Novitiate During
a two-year novitiate, the novice is instructed in the basic requirements of
religious life and begins living the
evangelical counsels. The novice is

developing the maturity required to make a perpetual commitment to the life
and mission of the Congregation and to integrate more fully their religious
and apostolic formation. |
