DameAgnes Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Interestingly, in this community, the postulants are given their names-in-religion even before they enter the novitiate. Unusual, I think. https://www.sistersofcharity.com/entrance-of-postulants/
truthfinder Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Interesting. The only group I can think of having a similar practice is some Carmelite monasteries, but these are incredibly rare lately.
nikita92 Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 They did that back in Sept. The news is a little over 6 months old. I do understand your point though.
