Candidature: time for learning and sharing

The Candidature is a period of gradual introduction to the Salvatorian way of life.  The Candidature provides opportunities for you to deepen your own spirituality, to broaden personal development, to experience life in community and to engage in apostolic activity - all so that you can respond to God's call with conviction and freedom.  The period of the candidature can last up to two years.
