The Junioriate

The Juniorate encompasses the period between a member's first profession of vows and his final profession of vows. During this period the Junior more fully participates in the apostolic work of the community. He embraces the vow of poverty surrendering administration of his belongings, obtaining permission of the Superior to do anything with his property as all of his necessary physical needs met by the community. If he has discerned a call to the priesthood, intellectual preparation through theological studies as part of seminary formation begins in the Juniorate.



Final Vows

During the period of Junioriate a member of the Canons Regular may renew his temporary vows annually, but the period during which he is bound by them may not exceed six years, at which point he must either profess final vows or leave the Canons Regular. After three years under temporary vows, a member may request the profession of final vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. All members called to the priesthood profess final vows before advancing to the diaconate.

Seminary Formation

If a member of the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius discerns that he also has a call to the priesthood, he will be admitted into theological studies. He must first complete the proper undergraduate studies if he has not already done so prior to entrance into the community. Guided by the norms established by the Holy See, the seminarian will be given human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral formation centered around the Holy Eucharist, especially daily Mass, the Divine Office and contemplative prayer. Frequent use of spiritual direction and sacramental Confession is emphasized to foster an unwavering commitment to a priestly life of sacrifice and service.
