Mercy Partners acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional owners, the Yuggera, Turrbal, Jagera and Ugarapul People, recognising Elders past and present, on whose land we walk, work and live.
Formation seeks to develop in us sensitivity to where God is leading our lives and our mission.
Curtin, 2012
Formation is a transformative process. It helps cultivate a contemporary mission ethos that responds to the signs of the times and supports effective leadership. Rooted in faith and guided by the Holy Spirit, Formation involves theological reflection, dialogue, and discernment.
Formation is a faith-based journey, grounded in Scripture, Catholic tradition, and charisms of our ministries. It fosters stewardship of the Mercy Partners mission by nurturing each individual’s spirituality, while also forming a common spirituality, unique to Mercy Partners – one that contributes to a world where the healing, liberating, and life-giving mercy of God is experienced.
To fulfil its canonical responsibilities regarding leadership Formation, Mercy Partners provides Formation opportunities for key leaders, including Ministry Board Directors, Chief Executive Officers, Principals, and Mission Leaders, within its ministries.
Formation for Mission Framework
To support ministry Boards in their Formation journey, Mercy Partners has developed the Formation for Mission Framework. Comprising six key domains, this Framework guides ministry leaders in shaping their annual Formation plans.
These six domains are:
- Mission
- Spirituality and Theological Reflection
- Catholic Thought and Context
- Leadership and Governance
- Ministry Context
- Human Relations
