DIACONATE
FORMATION PROGRAM
PRE-FORMATION PROGAM
|
To ensure the quality and growth of the Diaconate in the Diocese
of Springfield, a Pre-Formation Program was established. Through
the program’s process of spiritual development and lay ministry
courses, potential candidates for ordination gain an increased awareness
and better understanding of their responsibility to serve. The program
provides men an opportunity to spiritually discern the vocation
to serve and an opportunity to grow in their knowledge of the Church
prior to formally applying to the Diaconate Formation Program.
The
Church is constantly being faced with new challenges and the Diaconate
plays a major role in helping to meet and fulfill these challenges.
