Formation

        The religious formation is the bringing to birth of a new personality which was conceived in Baptism and now shaped and fashioned to respond to the particular mode of Christian vocation. It is to assist the young religious to grow in a personal love for Christ and a deepening sense of Christian Community. Here they get a chance to continuously mould their personality to become good and devout religious, with strong faith and high dedication to the religious life.

         The Formation Program of our Congregation consists of one to three years of aspirancy (completion of Plus 2) one year Pre-Novitiate, one year Canonical Novitiate, one year Regency (time for community experience)  and five to six years of Temporary Vows. Under the guidance of the formation team, the new religious grows in a deeper understanding and appreciation of her vocation, the vows, the Christ ­life, and the Franciscan spirit.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRANCE -Young women desiring to respond to Christ's call- "Come, Follow Me" -are welcome into our Community. They are asked to have:  

  1. A desire to live a spiritual life of dedication
  2. Good mental and physical health.
  3. Ability to fulfill the duties of a Franciscan religious.
  4. Minimum academic qualification is SSLC.
