The women, who are in the various stages of initial formation, and the members of the formation team, who oversee the process of initial formation, are the Formation Community. They gather together for weekends several times a year to share prayer, study, and lots of laughter. Sometimes inquiring women are invited to join this group for one of our weekend gatherings. It is a time and place to spend quality time with those who are on the journey themselves. Below are photos of these weekends.

These formation weekends not only give the women in formation opportunities to build relationships with other sisters, but also offer opportunities for reflection and prayer surrounded by the beauty of nature.

Meal time is a good time for sharing

It's always a sad time when we have to pack up to leave
