Do you seek to discern the Lord’s will for your life? Have you considered a vocation to consecrated religious life?

The Come & See weekend will give you a glimpse of our daily community life and prayer moments. Presentations on discernment, formation and Salesian Spirituality will provide you with an opportunity to learn more about us and how we serve youth and young adults. Have no fear! There is no pressure, and we do not expect you to enter as we know discernment takes time. Come as you are and see us as we are!

Vocational inquirers are initially led through a period of discernment over the web through email and webcam dialogue. Then, if deemed appropriate by the inquirer and the community, the inquirer can visit the community for a weekend and stay in the convent guest room (not within the cloister). After returning home, the inquirer - together with the community - discerns whether another weekend experience is appropriate; after these weekend experience(s), the next step would be a 15-day experience with the community, followed by all the other steps along the itinerary of consecration.
