FURTHER REFLECTION:

“Religious formation is an invitation to locate our personal growth within the communal matrix of a religious institute, to see the world in ways that are colored not only by our own personal history, but also by the accumulated wisdom, customs, insights and values flowing from the institute’s past history and present reality.” (Formation Policies and Procedures, 8)
