Formation is about the spiritual growth of our minds and hearts which we bring to our ministry.

It is important for Conferences to strengthen themselves. Even strong Conferences must recruit. New members bring fresh ideas and fresh energy to the Conference and reinforce older members in their Vincentian Vocation. Conferences must also reach out to seek diversity – men and women, young people, members of various ethnic and minority groups. Below are links that can assist you in growing and strengthening your conference.
