Each step in our formation program is preceded by a preparatory retreat. If a person meets the basic requirements for joining our Community, she will be invited to make a two-week discernment retreat in one of our Solitudes. During this period, the candidate will be supported with prayer and guidance from the Community and especially by those involved in the work of discerning the candidate’s vocation. If the candidate is acceptable and wishes to enter, she would either be invited to come back and join or asked to spend a longer period of discernment with us.

During the other retreats, assistance would be directed toward helping the candidate appreciate more and more deeply both the Divine favor of a Religious vocation and of our specific call to be only for God and for service to Holy Church.
