Formation II
Formation II is for those candidates who have made the Temporary Promise and are preparing to make the Definitive Promise.
"In the last three years of initial formation there is a deeper study of prayer, the scriptures, the documents of the Church, the saints of the Order, and formation in the apostolate of the Order. At the end of these three years, the applicant may be invited by the Council to make the definitive promise to live the evangelical counsels and the spirit of the beatitudes for life." [OCDS Constitutions 36 d]
The purpose of this period of formation is to prepare the candidate to embrace fully the demands and rewards of living the way of life inspired by the Rule of St. Albert and outlined in our OCDS Constitutions.
