Type of promise made to God in Catholicism
A solemn vow is a certain vow ("a deliberate and free promise made to God about a possible and better good") taken by an at least 18 year old person individual after completion of the novitiate in a Catholic religious institute. It is solemn insofar as the Church recognizes it as such.[1][2]
