Continuing Formation of Priests

Far more than providing occasional programs for priests, continuing formation is a ministry to the whole person and life of the individual: his intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and ministerial needs. It relates to the priest/religious from ordination/profession through retirement. It is especially important at certain moments of transition in his life when the acquisition of new skills or outlook is necessary. Such elements mean that continuing education is truly continuing formation.

Three elements are central to this vision of continuing formation:

  • Ministry to the whole person of the priest/religious.
  • Ministry to the priest/religious at transitional periods of ministry.
  • Ministry to the communal and universal dimensions of
    priestly/religious life.
