Addressing the unique needs of today’s Formators
• professional standards
• educational requirements
• individual support needs
• ongoing transformation of the heart.
You will be invited to reflect on —
• how you professionally and personally approach formation work
and ministry
• how your unique obstacles and facilitating qualities might hinder or move
you toward being a helpful and successful Formator
• how you model yourself as an example of healthy, integrated and peace-
filled religious and/or clerical life
• how the various aspects of your particular piece of formation complements
the greater scheme of your Society's, Congregation's, Diocese's overall
formation philosophy and goals.

• vocational candidates, aspirants, postulants, novices
• philosophers, theologians, diocesan seminarians
