This immediate preparation for the candidates for perpetual vows is done according to the orientations of number 423 of the General Plan of Formation. It is to intensify in the candidates the personal prayer, the times of silence and discernment on the one hand; and on the other hand, to renew in them the theoretical and experiential foundations of the Claretian religious life and to allow them to evaluate the missionary life in a dialogue with the formator.
This 2022 Edition of the 2nd Novitiate will end on August 15, 2022.
