Postulancy


Diana and Laura at the reception celebrating
their entrance to the Postulancy.



After the initial period of discernment and preparation, candidates who enter the Postulancy participate in perpetual adoration and communal liturgies while studying the basic truths of our faith and the spirituality of our congregation. During the postulancy, they share in community life and have opportunities for ministry and service.

Meet our Postulants.  Next step—Novitiate.
