THE STAGES IN BECOMING A SISTER OF JMJ

There are five stages Pre-Candidacy, Candidacy, Pre-novitiate, Novitiate, Juniorate, and Ongoing Formation

PRE - CANDIDANCY

Upon feeling called to consecrated life, you begin a journey of discernment with a Vocation Director through guidance and dialogue. This mutual process helps explore your vocation and suitability for religious life, usually lasting 1–2 years.

Candidacy

Young women interested in our way of life are invited to live with us for one year to discern their vocation, deepen their faith, and grow in understanding of the Spirit and Charism of the JMJ Congregation.

Pre – Noviciate

A 12-month period of reflection and formation, helping you understand the essentials of religious life, embrace the CJMJ way of living, and freely discern your call to the Congregation.

Novitiate

A two-year period of intensive spiritual formation, deepening your relationship with Christ and understanding of the Founder’s Charism. It includes growth in prayer, community life, and apostolic service, with the second year involving active participation in ministry within a community.

Juniorate

Following first vows, a Sister enters the Juniorate, a period of temporary profession lasting 6–9 years. This stage strengthens her formation and commitment to religious life. At its completion, she may make her Perpetual Profession, dedicating herself for life through the vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience as a permanent member of the CJMJ Congregation.

Ongoing Formation

A lifelong process of growth and renewal in prayer, community life, ministry, and personal development, helping Sisters deepen their vocation and update their skills for service.
