Ministry Formation Training

Going Forth in Joy!   

"I am a mission on this earth; that is the reason why I am here in this world."

- Pope Francis

We the Church are called to embody the love of God in and for a world in need. Join us for our Going Forth in Joy! Ministry Formation Training, a weekend of encounter, discernment, and formation for living the Gospel within and beyond the walls of your parish, school, or office! 

This program provides Catholic ministers and educators the knowledge, skills, and resources to better help their communities go forth as agents of encounter and positive Christian change. Program includes four sessions over three evenings:

  • Our Call: God's Mission of Love
  • Our Story: The Mission in Scripture and History
  • Our Moment: Living the Mission Today
  • Our Commissioning: Going Forth and Forming Others

A donation of $90 is suggested to cover the costs of food, lodging and materials for those staying overnight and $60 for commuters, but we understand the financial constraints on those working for the Church and we are happy to host you as our gift if you are unable to make a donation. 

This program implements the statement of the U.S. Catholic Bishops, "Teaching Mission Ad Gentes:  Continuing Pentecost Today."  The program is certified for credit for continuing education and catechist hours for many dioceses.  This is the Basic Program and satisfies the prerequisite for the Advanced Course to be held in 2017.
