No, attending a discernment weekend in no way makes a candidate bound to the Capuchins or obligated to continue discerning with us.

These weekends are excellent opportunities to see in person what the Capuchins are all about and to meet with other men who are also discerning whether or not God is calling them to religious life.  Hopefully, someone who attends a discernment weekend likes what they see and can attend future weekends in order to continue discernment with us.
