	Pre-Novitiate Formation, by Damian Byrne, OP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The novitiate should come at the moment when the candidate "has reached that degree of human and spiritual maturity which will allow him to respond to this call with sufficient and proper responsibility and freedom" (RC4).
		One of the important benefits of a pre-novitiate is the opportunity it gives candidates to develop their human values so that they begin to accept responsibility for themselves and can appreciate their own strengths and weaknesses.
		There is a danger that premature recruitment to the novitiate might leave unresolved the issues which ownership, the exercise of personal autonomy and coming to terms with one's sexuality imply.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Novice
		In those orders which have a distinctive habit, the novitiate commences with the assumption of the habit; in those which have no habit, it commences from the time when the novice is received into the house lawfully assigned for the purpose by competent authority.
		Some persons consider that one whole day passed outside the novitiate, even for some good reason, and with the permission of superior, is sufficient to render ineffective the whole of the previous probation, but this is too rigorous an interpretation of the rule.
		One part of the novitiate house should be reserved for the novices, and strictly separated from the rest of the dwelling.

	Renovationis Causam
		The novitiate will also include study and meditation on Holy Scripture, the doctrinal and spiritual formation indispensable for the development of a supernatural life of union with God and an understanding of the religious state and lastly an initiation to liturgical life and the spirituality proper to the Institute.
		These formative apostolic periods may not begin until after a minimum of three months in the novitiate and will be distributed in such a way that the novice will spend at least six continuous months in the novitiate and return to the novitiate for at least one month prior to first vows or temporary commitment.
		Excluded from the novitiate year described in No. 21 are all formal study programs, even of theology or philosophy, as also studies directed toward the obtaining of diplomas or in view of professional training.

	THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO EVALUATE THE MEXICAN NOVITIATE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The four issues were: the two-year novitiate program set in a developing country; a single novitiate; the cultural background of the novice master; and the location of the novitiate.
		While the same degree of consensus among the confreres is not evident in the fourth factor (novitiate close to one's country of origin and apostolic involvement), the difference between those who are in total agreement as compared to those who are in total disagreement is significant.
		The Committee recommends that any work or obligations outside the Novitiate on the part of the Novitiate Directors be of such type that the Novitiate is not disrupted and that either director is not absent from the Novitiate for long periods of time.
