Having expressed your desire to dedicate yourself to God
through First Profession, you now enter into the heart of
SSND life and learn to integrate the elements of prayer,
community and ministry. Within a six year period, you
prayerfully discern if religious life is your heart’s deepest
desire.
During this time of preparation for Perpetual Profession,
you come to know if the vowed life the right choice
for your life.
