Formation

Formation in our Congregation comprises four stages-

Aspirancy, Atma Darsan Course, Postulancy, Reagency, Novitiate, Juniorate.

During the stage of Aspirancy our candidates are initially housed in few of our convents for the first year learning the language and the day to day religious and community activities. After the language study they are sent for plus two studies.

After completing the plus two they are sent for the one-year course of Atma Darsan in DARSANA institute at Wardha.

For the Postulancy they are sent to Pune and they are given classes as per the syllabus of the congregation by different Priests and Sisters as per the subject and by the DM Faculties.

Before entering to the Novitiate, they spend one year in Reagency in different convents of our Province for the community experience. In this period two months are arranged for Exposure programme in different villages of our mission area.
The Novitiate is situated at Kalmeshwar in Nagpur. Our candidates spend one year in intensive prayer and training discerning their call and strengthening their commitment to Christ and the Congregation.

The Juniorate period normally last for a minimum period of six years. During these years the sisters deepen their interior life in relation to Christ and grow in maturity in relation to the community and the apostolate. It is also a time during which they equip themselves with deep knowledge and acquire professional training to live as valid members of the Congregation.
