This sounds like the stage in a religious congregation that is called a “novitiate”

casadechris. This propadudic is a new thing. But you are right. It is a similar concept to a Novitiate.

@@erikriza7165 After PASTORS DABO VOBIS came out guys in formation had to add a "pastoral year" before ordination to the transitional diaconate. It used to be that the diaconate gave them that year of experience but now this new year was given, on top of -at least in the usa- a period of time to study and learn Spanish.I was rather shocked it started at St. Pat's, this program seemed like a good idea that would have come from Mount St, Mary's in MD or St Charles in Philadelphia.
