Vocation to the Dominican Sisters of Regina Rosarii is a call to be a contemplative in the world today, and to witness to the fullness of consecrated life that is nurtured in an ambiance of silence, stillness and simplicity, yet fully aware and responsive to the signs of the times.

To nurture this gift of vocation, a candidate will go through a formation journey that allows her to discover the different facets of her gifts.

Religious formation is a path of gradual identification with the attitude of Christ toward the Father through fidelity to the Gospel and the founding charism. We each bear personal responsibility for our growth and development. Since this life is lived in and through community, we have a constant duty of challenging and encouraging each other toward that fullness of life most perfectly manifested by Jesus.

Formation leads us to express in our lives the Dominican motto “Laudare, Benedicere, Praedicare, ” We develop a spirituality that moves us to praise, to bless and to preach the Presence of God in our lives through prayer, study, common life and service.

QUALIFICATIONS

Any candidate who sincerely desires to join our Congregation should:

a. have experienced contemplative prayer time with the sisters and must have attended at least one contemplative seminar;

POSTULANCY

NOVITIATE

The novitiate is a period of probation during which the novices carefully study themselves and their vocation to the Dominican life, initiate themselves in the apostolic works of our Congregation as well as in the spirit of unity, having only one heart and mind in God, to live the evangelical counsels of obedience, chaste loving and poverty of which they will later make profession. (cf. Can. 646)
