emilier98 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Does anyone know how those entering into vowed religious life with an order get their names? I have always been a bit curious about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been a bit curious about that. [/quote] It depends on the order (and even differs between communities). Some of course, keep their baptismal names. For the ones that choose, some communites always have Mary (or a variation of it). Some, like TeresaBenedicta's community (SSVMs) take only titles of Mary. The majority of communites that take names have saints- sometimes the novice-to-be gets to select it. But from what I've heard, most of the time the postulant selects 3 choices and submits them to the Superior who discerns the name (which is usually one of the three choices, but doesn't necessarily have to be) and it is given at the investiture ceremony.

[/quote] Thank you. I've always been curious about that and now that I am looking at entering I'm really curious. I'm glad you get to submit a list of names. I need to start looking at Dominican saints since I want to be a Dominican. Anyone know where to find a comprehensive list of Dominican saints?
