BECOMING SoC
- The time of research
  The signs of knowing how to listen, to interpret and to understand
  
  Life is a great gift from God in order to reach our fullness. He is the one who knows best how to make us flourish and bloom.
- Daring to knock at a door
  Speak to a sister
  
  Do you feel that the Lord is reaching you in a unique and personal way? Aren’t you capable to remain indifferent to the cry of the poor?
- Experience in community
  Understanding from within
  
  Do you want to try to be sure that a community of consecrated women wearing daily the “apron for service” will suit you?
- Novitiate
  Decide for God, for the Church, for the poor
  
  Yes, with the Sisters of Charity! Two years to risk yourself totally and joyfully.
- Juniorate
  The first readiness to the mission
  
  Still some more years of trying, formation, daily life… until the final Yes forever.
