Formation Stages

Villa Consuelo - 2018
Xaverian Missionaries

Stages of Formation

  • 1 year of propaedeutic.
  • 4 years of philosophy studies.
  • Novitiate: 1 year. After the novitiate, the candidate, if he is presented, he will profess his temporary vows and become member of our Institute.
  • Post-Novitiate or period of temporary vows. It is the stage in which the candidate is called to discipleship with Christ through his religious consecration and study Theology as preparation to priestly and apostolic ministry. Theological studies are done in one of our International Theologate (Cameroon, Italy, Mexico and Philippines). The duration of this stage depends on the statute of each formation community of Theology; the average for all is more less 5 years.
