WHAT DOES NOVITIATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

novitiate

Novitiate

Novitiate, alt. noviciate, is the period of training and preparation that a novice monastic, apostolic, or member of a religious institute undergoes prior to taking vows in order to discern whether she or he is called to vowed religious life. It often includes times of intense study, prayer, living in community, studying the vowed life, deepening one's relationship with God, and deepening one's self-awareness. It is a time of creating a new way of being in the world. The Novitiate stage in most communities is a two-year period of formation. These years are “Sabbath time” to deepen one's relationship with God, to intensify the living out of the community's mission and charism, and to foster human growth. The Novitiate experience for many communities includes a concentrated program of prayer, study, reflection and limited ministerial engagement. "The Novitiate helps the Novice better understand her vocation to a particular Congregation. Novices experience the manner of living, the culture of the Congregation.
