Postulancy is the first of three stages of your Initial Formation and is the transitional stage between your previous life in the world and your movement to life as a Capuchin-Franciscan friar. During this stage of discernment, you experience communal living while growing in the understanding of what it means to live within a community of brothers in service to those around you. Together, both you and the friars will determine your ability to live the Capuchin-Franciscan lifestyle.
