Banyatereza communities/convents:
Every community is an extension of a Formation House. Members help each other to live and witness to the life of the congregation – the Charism. Vocation promotion is at this stage.
First stage
Pre-Postulancy (Aspirancy)
at St. Agnes – the girls come for 8 months for “a come and see” program.
Postulancy
– at Yerya Novitiate – for one year.
The Novitiate:
Novitiate is done at Yerya Novitiate for 2 years. Life in the Congregation begins at this stage. Novices are helped to recognize their divine vocation; they experience the congregation’s manner of living; they are formed in mind and heart by the Congregation’s spirit; and their intention and suitability is tested.
Formation of the Temporarily Professed:
St. Therese on-going Formation Centre at Nkuruba is available for the Senacle sisters – those preparing to make final profession of vows. (In future when the place is completed we can organize courses and retreats regularly). At this stage the formation of members with temporal vows is continued so that they may lead more fully the proper life of the congregation and carry out its mission more suitably.
