Postulancy

In general, applicants are considered for acceptance after they have been in contact with the Community for a sufficient time to allow the individual and the Community to experience one another. Applicants will become postulants for a period of one year. During this time formal classes are begun in preparation for their religious life.

The Novitiate

After approximately the first year, the postulant may request admission to the novitiate. If the request is granted by the Community, she is accepted as a novice. The novitiate lasts approximately two years and includes the study of Trinitarian spirituality, prayer and training for the apostolate. The novitiate is a period of deepening spiritual formation, on-going and ever-deepening awareness of the responsibilitiesd and commitment of religious consecration.

Temporary Vows

After the novitiate is completed, the novice may request permission to take temporary vows. The Sisters of the Most Holy Trinity commit themselves to the Evangelical Counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience. (See "The Vowed Life")

Perpetual Vows

This is freely asking to consecrate oneself to God through the public and life-long profession of the Vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience.
