The Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo
Eastern province

Candidacy is a stage of initial formation given to the young girls recruited from different states of India. This is a period when they are given insertion into practice of fundamental Christian spiritual exercises, ability for spoken English and introduction to different apostolic activities of the congregation. After this stage of formation, those girls who have joined after passing the Secondary Board Examination pursue the Higher Secondary course for two more years before their entry into Postulancy. However all the candidates are subjected to a screening test to learn of their motivation, their physical fitness and mental aptitude to enable the directresses to guide and counsel them? The Table below gives with clarity the names of the directresses who had been in charge of the Formation of candidates of the Eastern Province from 1987 to 2010.
