Perpetual Profession
PERPETUAL PROFESSION
Prior to final profession the sister enters a year of dedicated prayer, renewal and preparation for final commitment. By perpetual profession, made in accordance with the directives of the Church, a woman religious declares publicly that she desires to give herself totally to God forever in the service of others according to the community’s charism. The community gathers to celebrate her gift to the Church and also promises to support her as a full member of the Salvatorian Sisters.
Perpetual profession of the vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience constitutes a radical commitment for life, which determines all subsequent choices.
