The novitiate , also called the noviciate , is the period of training and preparation that a Christian novice (or prospective ) monastic , apostolic, or member of a religious order undergoes prior to taking vows in order to discern whether they are called to vowed religious life. It often includes times of intense study, prayer , living in community, studying the vowed life, deepening one's relationship with God , and deepening one's self-awareness. The canonical time of the novitiate is one year; in case of additional length, it must not be extended over two years. In the Eastern Orthodox Church , the novitiate is officially set at three years before one may be tonsured a monk or nun, though this requirement may be waived. The novitiate is in any case a time both for the novice to get to know the community and the community to get to know the novice. The novice should aspire to deepening their relationship to God and discovering the community's charism . The novitiate in many communities includes a concentrated program of prayer, study, reflection and limited ministerial engagement.
