I am, indeed, in novitiate…usually around a year…
Total process is 2+ years
Wow. 6 years
Major props to you, ma’am.

which community is that? and will you be a claustral oblate?God must have a lot of work to do in me…Code:
I was speaking to someone about third orders today and she asked me if I think I might eventually end up a Religious. I said no, but I might end up in a third order or an Oblate years down the line. She said, well that’s considered Religious right?Thank you.
Just to be clear, I am the happily married father of 4. I am joining the Oblates of my monastery as a lay person (ie, not as a religious). Think of it as a Third Order
You guys probably already knew that, but I wanted to be clear
Exactly. They are not considered religious
with my monk…we have a new date! :extrahappy:
Wooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooo :extrahappy:
Just got off the…err…email

We were going down to visit my daughter at college, and now I get to be “finally oblated”
at the monastery!:extrahappy:
Please keep me in your prayers that I may fully receive the blessings associated with final oblation. Thanks
Yes, ma’amPraise be Jesus Christ!Code:
