Novitiate Formation at St. Camillus Novitiate

The Novitiate is where life in the Camillian Order formally begins.  In general, novitiate formation leads the novices to a clearer understanding of the religious vocation.  In particular, it enables them to develop deeper familiarity and identification with the charism, history, constitution and apostolic ministry of the Order of St. Camillus.  This one-year period of formation ends with the profession of temporary vows.

Scholasticate Formation St. Camillus Scholasticate

At the Scholasticate, religious formation prepares the temporary professed religious for perpetual profession.  This period of formation consists of psycho-spiritual, intellectual, cultural, apostolic and religious training within a community that favors religious maturation.  The formative process is geared towards enabling the temporary professed religious gain a degree of suitability and readiness for the profession of perpetual vows.
