Pathway to commitment
|
The Augustinian Life for those
searching to live a life of service The pathway to full membership into the Congregation takes approximately 8 years. Why? Basically to give the person contemplating Religious life enough time to experience what this life is all about. The pathway takes on four specific milestones: Postulancy: a 'lets get to know you' stage Novitiate: a time of intense 'prayer and discernment'stage Temporary Commitment: a time of experiencing the Congregation's ministry Final Commitment: the time to say "Yes" to Religious life. How old does one have to be to begin the pathway to final commitment? This is dependent on many things: level of education, work experience, family situation to name but a few. Each enquiry is dealt with the strictest of confidence and on an individual basis. |
