Luigi Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Here's a summary of the 2021 vocational developments in the 4 US Dominican provinces. NB: Dominicans have 1 year of novitiate, first vows (three years) then renewal of vows (for a fourth year), then solemn vows. Then - assuming they are studying for the priesthood - one year of diaconate, followed by presbyteral ordination. East: 14 novices, 6 first professions, unknown number of renewal of vows, and 10 solemn vows. 8 deacons ordained and 5 priests ordained Central: 5 novices, 5 first vows, 1 renewal of vows, and 2 solemn vows. 1 deacon ordained (I think! It may not have occurred yet) and 3 priests ordained. South: 4 novices, 1 first vows, 1 solemn vows, and 1 priest ordained West: 4 novices, 6 first vows, 3 or 4 renewal of vows, and 2 solemn vows. 3 deacons ordained and 3 priests ordained.

truthfinder Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 1 hour ago, Qaqophas said: Interesting! Do you know how the ordained priest's entrance happened? I haven't heard of (presumably) diocesan priests entering an Order before. This definitely happens. They have to get permission from their bishop before pursuing entrance. Usually priests who’ve been ordained a little while from the ones I’ve seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franciscan Mike Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I was in the seminary with several guys who were ordained diocesan priests, then went into Trappist and Benedictine communities. They still need to go thru novitiate and temporary vows before final vows. Being in community was one of the biggest reasons for the switch.

Nunsuch Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 An ordained priest entered with Thomas Merton at Gethsemane in Seven-Storey Mountain. [He didn't persevere.] This is not that uncommon--for ordained priests to enter congregations. The two vocations--to ordination and to religious life--are distinct, of course.
