Those who intend to join the Franciscan Order are expected to be Catholics with good health and an average intelligence for academic pursuits. They must fulfil the basic requirement for entering any  of the country’s universities. [Good BECE or J.H.S.] and very good SSCE or WASSCE results. Results in English Language, Mathematics and Integrated Science are very important as well as your 3 Electives. They must be within credit grades (between grades A(A1) and D(C6).

Once admitted they undergo a period of Postulancy during which they observe the Friars and the Friars too observe them.   If at the end of this period one  still desire to become a friar, and if one is approved by the Superior, they enter the Novitiate. It is a one year intensive initiation into the Franciscan life - spirituality, history and organization of thr Order. At the end of the Novitiate, they make their First Profession of Vows. After this period those who feel that they are called to be priests continue with the normal Catholic Training programme for priests. The Brothers also continue with furthur formation according to their capabilities.
