Second Year Novice - 1 Year
At the beginning of the second year of the Novitiate, the Novice receives her black scapular and black veil. During this stage of formation a Sister continues to strive towards:

Deepening her life of prayer

Strengthening her commitment to and love for the Church and for the Congregation

Intensifying her desire to reach out to others through the Apostolic Works of Charity embraced by the Congregation

The novice, once this year has been completed, pronounces her temporary vows for the first time.
