From 25 to 29 May 2009, the annual meeting of the Secretariat for Formation took place at the Spirituality Centre San Vincenzo Pallotti at Grottaferrata, with the participation of the 8 members of this Secretariat. Main themes were: the various formation summer meetings in Rome, several appendices to SAC Ratio Istitutionis like, for example, discernment criteria for the various formation stages, an ongoing formation project for the first years after perpetual consecration, a formation programme for Brothers within SAC and planning for one year formation for pallottine formators at the Cenacle in Rome.
The members of the Secretariat met with candidates for our Society and the novice for the Pallottine Sisters and formators of the International Introductory Period, and made an evaluation of their first month.
