"I have called you by name; you are mine." Candidacy is the first step of a beautiful, intentional walk with Christ within our Franciscan community.
Shared Experiences
Meet Dikopo, Kgalalelo and Rethabile. Before joining us, they knelt before the San Damiano Cross, asking for guidance. Their journey shows that you don't have to walk alone.
During Candidacy, you will live near or with our sisters, participating in our prayer and work while continuing your studies or professional growth.
