The process of becoming a monk is on a case by case bases. The vows taken are considered to entail a life-long commitment to God, and are not to be entered into lightly.
There are steps to becoming a full member of the Servants of Christ. You would visit with us for periods of time so we may get to know one another. After these periods one may become a Novice. You would be clothed in our gray tunic and belt. After a period of time when all felt you were ready, you would move on to take temporary vows. At this time the burgundy scapular would be added to your habit. Again, when you are ready, professed vows may be taken and you would be clothed fully in our habit by receiving the gray cowl.
