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.
Holistic
Formation engages the whole person – intellectually (head), emotionally / spiritually (heart) and practically (hands) – fostering deep alignment with the mission.
Discernment
Formation involves discerning the voice of God through:
- The Mission Discernment process – Prepare, Analyse, Decide, Act (Call to Action).
- Synodal processes, such as Conversations in the Spirit.
Fidelity to Mission
Formation supports individuals and community in aligning with the mission of Ministry.
Spirituality and Theological Reflection
Each Director has her/his own unique spirituality which may be enriched through engagement with Scripture and the charism of your Ministry.
Dynamic and Contextual
Formation responds to the signs of the times, adapting to evolving roles and contexts – equipping people to respond meaningfully to present-day needs.
Communal
Formation embraces a collaborative approach, with your Ministry’s Board acting as a Christian community in partnership with its staff, students/patients/clients/employees, Mercy Partners Board and the wider Catholic Church.
