the Sisters of Life, especially Sr. Kateri, S.V. are absolutely great! and that video was pretty cool, too.

I'd like to see it... I walked in when it had just ended. I've watched old shows on ewtn's website before, but I'm having trouble finding the archives now.

Postulancy- 9 months
Novitiate- 2 years (canonical and apostolic)
[url="http://sistersoflife.org/formation.htm"]Sisters of Life- Formation site[/url] They don't seem to say how long between first profession and final profession. But based on their history, I'd say it's something like renewed vows for three years before final profession.

Somewhere, I think it was on another thread about the Sisters, I seem to recall someone saying that you had to come make a "Come & See" before entering as a postulant. But I don't know if you could extend the "Come & See" and have it be an aspirancy. I do know that they have an expanding co-workers ministry, thought. And perhaps involvement with some of the co-workers in the Sisters' various apostolates could work as an aspirancy.

So far as I am aware, it's just once a year. Marieteresa, if you are interested in learning more about the SOL, I'd definately write to Sr. Mary Gabriel, the vocation directress. You need to talk to her before going on a Come & See Weekend, I believe. They really are a wonderful order & my friend who visited this past fall had an excellent experience with them.
