    1. Mr. Unknown, All congregation accept candidate for priesthood or brotherhood from 18 years old. My sincere advice from me to you is, further your studies and after your further studies, you can apply to any congregation of your choice.
      But, don't be heartbroken you are still young. Note, if you further your studies, you have any edge in terms of the number of years you might spend in philosophy studies.
