Temporary Profession of Vows: At the end of the Novitiate year,
believing that God has called them to be a Capuchin Franciscan
Friar and accepted by the Provincial Minister, a man professes the
vows of poverty, chastity and obedience for three years. During the
first two years of this time of formation, all temporary professed
friars live together. They participate in the regular life of a Capuchin
friar seeking to deepen their vocation to this way of life. During the
third year of temporary profession, a friar is assigned to another of
our houses to continue to grow in the life. At the end of his time in
temporary vows which could extend up to six years, but usually
does not exceed four years, a friar perpetually professes his vows
for life.
