Novitiate.
The Novitiate is a period for conscious and responsible preparation for consecration in the religious life, and this is best achieved through the first experience of such a life in our Institute.
Its purpose is to help the novice understand the essence of her divine call, her vocation to and the charism of the institute.
It is a period through which the novice come to know Christ more intimately and to follow him chaste, obedient and poor, by means of a deep conversion to Him (Can 646) The Novitiate lasts for two years.
