Post-Ordination Formation
Welcome
“The formation [of priests] of which we speak is the experience of a disciple, who approaches Christ and allows himself to be conformed ever more to Him. Precisely because of this, formation cannot be a task that ends, because priests never stop being disciples of Jesus, never stop following Him. […] Initial formation and ongoing formation are different because they require different ways and times, but they are two halves of one reality, the life of the cleric-disciple, in love with his Lord and constantly following Him.”
–Pope Francis, October 3, 2014
To the Priests of the Diocese of Providence:
