Novitiate and Temporary Vows
During the two-year novitiate, time is set aside for formal study of Bon Secours charism, spirituality, mission and history. You deepen your faith life, grow in self-knowledge, study our vows and way of life, and learn how to live in community.

When you take temporary vows, you live a life of prayer and active contribution for between three and six years in community as a sister of Bon Secours, after which – if it’s right for you and the congregation – you take permanent vows.
