Stage 2 - PostulantBecome a SisterThis second stage of becoming a sister lasts at least one year and requires that the discerning woman move into the monastery to share our prayer, work, and leisure. During the Postulancy, each woman needs to have her financial affairs ordered in such a way that she need not engage in outside work. Each Postulant labors with us in keeping the gardens and house, prays with us and attends classes in Scripture and Benedictine spirituality and practice. At a simple ceremony in the Community Room, the
Affiliate is surrounded by the entire community. She proclaims her
desire to "seek God with this community." She is then presented with
The Liturgy of the Hours books, On the Way: The Journey of the
Idaho Benedictine Sisters, and The Life of Saint Benedict as told in
The Dialogues of St. Gregory the Great. Learn More About Becoming A Sister
