VOCATIONS TO THE RELIGIOUS LIFE
   

We take as one of our vows that of “Stability”, by which we promise to persevere in our monastic family, loving it with all its failings and strengths.

We promise “Conversion of Life” a constant striving to remain open to the Spirit and to grow nearer to God.

We are stewards of the goods given to us and everything is held in common.

We obey the lawful commands of our superiors who hold the place of Christ in each community.


 

ENTRY AND FORMATION

 

 

 

We look for women who are sincerely seeking God, who have a love for the liturgy, who are generous, caring, with sound common sense, and reasonable health. A sense of humour is an asset.

There is a 6 month to 2 years postulancy, during which the candidates and Community are finding out whether it is God’s will for them to enter the religious life.

The Novitiate normally lasts 2 years. It is a time of spiritual training for the novices to know themselves and to know God.

In the Juniorate, temporary vows are normally taken over a period of 5 years prior to Final Profession.

The Juniorate provides a further period for spiritual and theological studies and also for secular training.

Finally Professed Sisters have the opportunity to continue spiritual and secular formation, which is essentially a life long process.

In the UK we have convents in Brighton, Bognor Regis, Bury St Edmunds, Heathfield and Stroud.
