Formation in the Catholic Church

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Formation (Catholic))

Ministerial formation (or simply formation) is the personal preparation that the Catholic Church offers to people with a defined mission, such as the priesthood or membership of a religious order such as the Society of Jesus. Such formation involves a program of spiritual and academic training. In the case of priestly formation, the typical location concerned is the seminary either operated by a diocese for the purposes of training diocesan/secular clergy or operated by a religious order for the purpose of preparing its members for priestly ordination.[1]
