The Jesuit Pre-Novitiate is a formative stage designed to help candidates discern their vocation while preparing for entry into the Novitiate. It places a strong emphasis on English language learning, enabling pre-novices to communicate effectively in their future studies and ministries. Alongside language development, the program fosters spiritual preparation through prayer, Ignatian spirituality, and community living. Pre-novices engage in studies, apostolic activities, and personal reflection, equipping them with the necessary skills and spiritual foundation for their Jesuit journey.
