General Guidelines for Initial Formation (Pdf)
Resources for Ongoing Formation
Ongoing formation helps us realize that the corporate service we have to render to mission requires that we be expansive, spiritually robust, well-informed, and competent. This implies that we have to set apart time for ourselves. This is not a “lost time” or a time “stolen from the mission.” He who gets lost in activism risks getting lost completely and thus render poor service to himself and the mission.
