Postulancy, a period of six months to one year, is a time for asking questions or "postulating." What is this community all about? What is expected of members? What are the elements of the community's way of life? In what ways am I already living this way of life? In what ways is the Lord calling me to live this way of life more deeply?
At the beginning of Postulancy, the Regional Minister will assign a Formation Assistant (FA). An FA is a senior member of the community who will act as a friend and a guide during the formation process.
