Perpetual Profession Annually, for four to six years, the temporary professed sister renews her vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. During these years, the sister can be involved in a period of studies and/or apostolic activities in the Congregation. prior to final profession, the sister enters a year of intense prayer, renewal and preparation for final commitment. When she publicly pronounces her final vows to God, the community gathers to celebrate her gift to the Church and also promises to support her as a full member of the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary.
