It is through the vocation ministry team that the welcome is made at the Friends of Christ. It is a stage of making contact, of information, of mutual taming, and of first discernment.

The candidate wishing to go further is invited to live his first community experience. This will be an opportunity for him to take his first steps in the life of prayer, community life, and in the life of work.

The candidate manifesting a serious intention to join the Friends of Christ undertakes the novitiate. He will then follow sessions aimed at perfecting his knowledge of the community. It is a stage of in-depth formation, of human, affective and spiritual growth. This is the stage of discernment in view of the temporary vows pronounced at the end of the novitiate.

For future brothers and priests, the student is the deepening stage of knowledge of religious life before perpetual commitment.

For the candidate who chooses the vocation of brother, it is the stage of professional or technical formation, and of the first experience of work in the service of the Community. 

For the candidate for the priesthood, it is the stage of formation in theology, baccalaureate and master's degree, interspersed with the pastoral internship. Once this step is completed, the candidate is ordained deacon, and shortly thereafter, priest.
