Listen to God's CallHow Are You Serving God?
God calls each person to a personal vocation in marriage, religious life, priesthood, and the single life, which will bring true happiness to themselves and others if they live faithfully and generously in following God’s call.
Postulancy, novitiate, and temporary profession
These are each formal periods of time during “initial formation” – the years leading up to the final profession (also called final vows). These time periods involve study, ministry, and community life experiences to allow the person and the community to discern if the person should be part of the particular religious community for a lifetime commitment.
Is God Calling You?
God may be inviting you to a vowed consecrated religious life by serving God and God’s people, and now is the time to begin your meaningful journey if you:
- feel attracted to deepen your relationship with God.
- wish to commit to serving God through a life of service, prayer and community life.
- are drawn to the spirit of a particular congregation.
- want to be a part of the changes in …….the future needs of the Church and the world.
Permit Us to Discuss the Future with You
