  1. Aspirants should be prepared for some time before being admitted to the novitiate.
  2. The duration, form and place of this preparation shall be decided by the provincial chapter, or the prior provincial with his council.
  3. For this purpose, the province may establish a time of pre-novitiate as the first step on the journey towards the religious life. The aim of this is to prepare the aspirant for the novitiate especially through catechetical instruction, and provide an experience of living community life. It also gives the Order an opportunity to discern the aspirant’s suitability for Dominican life.
