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.
