Hermitage of the Advent
A new contemplative community of women living the 
Rule of St. Benedict.


 

Vocational Discernment
Persons who feel attracted by this way of life and think that it might be for them normally write to the house and are invited for a short visit or two - often after a time of correspondence or telephone conversations. If the interest remains, a longer visit or "live-in" is suggested.
If it still seems likely that this might be the way one is called to live one enters into the more formal periods of initiation into the life - a pre-novitiate period of six to twelve months, the novitiate - of normally two years; a time of temporary vows; and finally preparation for permanent vows.
