NOVITIATE

For the young women who want to discover the nature and demands of our consecrated life as Capuchin Tertiary Sisters and to experience our life, the Church reserves a privileged time of formation called the Novitiate and prepares the first profession.

In our religious Family we currently have three novitiate houses: in Guatemala, for the Spanish-speaking novices from Europe and Latin America; in the Philippines, for the English-speaking novices from Asia and, in Benin, for theFrench-speaking novices from Africa.

As an international Congregation, although Spanish continues to be the common congregational language, we try to favor the learning of other languages and, above all, intercultural living, a challenge that we face today at all levels.
