General Council Meeting.....Formation council meets.....

 Brothers Jaime and Charles Alphonse were present this morning to speak to us about the Ratio Formationis, which is getting ready. They communicated to us the various positive responses they are receiving from various parts of the Order. The second chapter is ready and it is emailed to all the provinces to study in the formation centers and also in the fraternity to give their own reflection and suggestions to make the document more rich and effective.

We also discussed the inter-continental formation meetings where various formation secretaries participated. The method used for these meetings need a little bit of improvement. The suggestions that have come from these meetings are very important…like including culture in our formation curriculum, the clericalism towards which the Order is rushing, inter-culturally the need of the hour. The document will include what the participants would like to be in the document.
