Jesuit Novitiate |

The
goals of the Novitiate are: verification of
one's vocation; a more intimate relationship
with the Lord; growth in authentic self knowledge;
and an increasing love for the Society of Jesus.

| The
Regency Period |

Regency is a time for men to be fully involved
in the apostolic work and community life of
the Province. Men are assigned to regency based
on the apostolic needs of the province and
individual apostolic desires.

| Graduate
Studies |

After Jesuits complete
their formation for ministry, some are assigned
to pursue further studies. Men pursue graduate
studies based on their abilities and the needs
of God's people.

| Tertianship |
| |
Jesuits
profess final vows after they have experienced
a period of full-time ministry as priests or
brothers. Before a man professes final
vows,
he spends a probationary year in prayer and
study called "tertianship."
