Blessed are the Merciful:
The Spiritual Works of Mercy in Formation
The Formators Workshop provides an opportunity for vocation directors and formators to be formed and upheld in their mission according to the guidelines of the Catholic Church, to dialogue with and learn from one another, and to develop lasting bonds and friendships. This year’s workshop, Blessed are the Merciful: The Spiritual Works of Mercy in Formation, will help educate and form attendees through presentations by speakers, panel discussions, and times for Q&A.
The workshop will include separate tracks for vocation directors and formators. Opportunities for Holy Mass, Liturgy of the Hours, and meals together are all part of the workshop experience. Please see highlights of the 2017 schedule below.
