The formation program of the Scalabrinian Missionary Sisters, in brief, is as follows:
 |
This is an initial period of getting to know one another and of discernment, which we usually call aspirancy. The length of this period varies depending on each person.
|
 |
An intermediate period of getting to know about the Charism, of apostolic experience and of Christian formation, is called postulancy. The length of this period varies from a minimum of ten months to a maximum of two years.
|
 |
Before making her Religious Profession, the young girl does two years of novitiate, a period in which she is initiated in religious life, the living of the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience, living fraternal life in community.
|
 |
The formation continues for at least five years in what is known as the Juniorate.
|
 |
After the Perpetual Profession, the Scalabrinian Missionary Sister continues her formation, above all with the experience of missionary life and of communion in community, continuous studies and self-formation.
|
The first three stages usually take place in the country of origin of the young girl, while part of the Juniorate is experienced internationally, lived in another community.

Wasn't it like a fire burning in us when he talked to us on the road and explained the scriptures to us ?
