In recognition of the critical importance of formation to the future of the Catholic health ministry, CHA has developed a comprehensive new Framework for Ministry Formation resource to complement and support members’ formation initiatives across all levels of their systems and organizations. In addition to a shared definition of formation, the resource contains the formation pedagogy and process along with six critical foundational elements of Vocation, Tradition, Spirituality, Catholic Social Teaching, Ethics and Discernment. The resource also features sample formation templates for each of the six foundational elements that are tailored for persons at all levels of the organization, including front-line associate, manager/supervisor, clinician and director/executive. In addition, readers will find competencies for ministry formation leaders.
