To Be a Monk |
If you feel called and can meet our basic entrance requirements, write asking for a questionnaire. After reviewing your completed questionnaire, we will inform you of the feasibility of a visit for interviews.
Should the interviews indicate a possible vocation to our life you will be invited to return for a period of one month's candidateship in the community.
If the candidateship reveals the positive signs of a monastic vocation, the candidate will be invited to return as a postulant.
