Training for the life
of a Rosminian
POSTULANCY : The aim of this formative time is to teach the
postulants about Christian perfection, about the nature of the
religious life in general, and in particular about life in the
Institute of Charity. At the end of the postulancy, the candidate,
fully aware of what the novitiate entails, makes a written request for
admission to it.
The
postulancy takes place, at least partly, in one of the Rosminian houses
|
THE NOVITIATE :, Lasts two years. The first year is the 'canonical'
formation year with a predominantly spiritual emphasis, and this is
accompanied, in the second year by further apostolic and cultural
formation. In this second year, courses of study may also be arranged,
taking account of the aptitude and maturity of the individual.
This is passed in the novitiate
house of the region
