European Novitiate of Madrid

The novitiate, which marks the beginning of life in an institute, aims to help novices better understand the divine vocation as it exists within the institute itself, to experience its way of life, to align their minds and hearts with its spirit, and to assess their intention and suitability (Code of Canon Law, 646).
