How to join us... Dear Sisters and Brothers, Do you think that you have a vocation to religious life?? Your first step: Contact Fr. Roberto, who is responsible for the Franciscans of Halifax. He will invite you for a cup of coffee and a chat .If you have had enough time to discern that your vocation is genuine, Fr. Roberto will then invite you to take part in the Life of our Community. In the beginning as postulant, and after a year... you will see!   STEPS OF RELIGIOUS LIFE... • Discernment: a time of reflection and understanding, coming to know yourself in your  vocation. • Postulate: before you wear the habit of religious life, you live closely with the community to continue your discernment process. • Novitiate: you live the life as a religious during the novitiate year, however you do not take any vows. This allows you to train for  religious life while continuing deeper discernment. • Simple Profession: when the novitiate ends you can then take  profession of simple vows (chastity, obedience and poverty). Discernment.htmlshapeimage_3_link_0
