LEARNING HOUSE OF DISCERNMENT
HOUSE OF DISCERNMENT
CORE COMMUNITY
This is a community of vowed sisters and possibly other women who are discerning. This provides you, the discerner, and the community time to further explore the call to be a Dominican as they continue to work and/or study. The next step is more exploring but with a tighter focus. This period is called discernment. Once you feel that you are ready for the next step, you would be invited to enter the House of Discernment in Boston, Massachusetts. There you, and possibly other women who are also exploring, would live with the Dominican Sisters. At the end of this discernment period the next step would be initial entrance into the community as an candidate. This gives you the opportunity to share prayer,
