Novice
At the beginning of the Novitiate, the new novice is presented with the habit and white veil. At this time we begin addressing her with the title Sister along with her Baptismal name.
During this two year period (the first year being required by canon law, the second year by our community's Constitutions), the novice continues to attend classes that to further her understanding and appreciation of our monastic life. It is a time of deepening one’s prayer life and trying one’s monastic vocation.
