Joining Multiple Holy Orders

[annes333]

If you have joined the SFO and later wish to become a member of a different holy order (such as sisters of mercy, marianists, etc.) do you have to depart from the SFO, are you locked into that order for life or can you be a member of both orders?

you have not taken vows if you join a third order, but you have completed a formation period and made a commitment to that spirituality. It is really not spiritually healthy to keep jumping around to find new and different spiritual highs, but far more beneficial to keep whatever commitment you have made. Hopefully in your current group you have some spiritual direction, this is something to discuss with him/her.
