RFMP has been a grace-filled time for me, offering me a safe space to explore who I am through different modules like MBTI, Family of Origin, Group Dynamics, Conflict Resolution, Emotions, Leadership, Spiritual Direction, Counselling… I am filled with gratitude at the end of this very special year.

When asked to prepare for ministry in initial formation I was really anxious; afraid that I did not have the necessary skills. The RFM Programme has nurtured me and I am now looking forward with confidence to assisting in initial formation

I have been enriched is so many ways at RFMP. The lectures, inputs, group discussions and workshops together with opportunities for personal reflection and accompaniment have deepened my life in so many ways. Ministry will be even more fulfilling and exciting from now on.

Of the many enriching modules on offer at the RFM Programme, my favourite was Spiritual Accompaniment. I learned to approach this ministry with a respectful listening heart - the practical skills of accompaniment will be of immense benefit to me in the future.

The breadth and depth of the excellent inputs refreshed and extended my knowledge in theology and spirituality. Most of all I discovered the importance of having support systems in place such as mentoring, pastoral supervision, spiritual accompaniment and counselling.

The RFM Programme offered me the opportunity to embark on an incredible daily journey of self-discovery. I have learnt that leadership is primarily an act of service, building trust and looking to Jesus as our model and inspiration.

The RFMP journey was one of self-discovery, leading me towards living a healthier and happier life, with greater inner freedom and trust in the power of God’s love. The support of my fellow participants is something I will treasure for many years to come.I have formed real and lasting friendships.

Amusan Olutosin, Daughters of the Holy Spirit, Nigeria.

I learnt the importance of support systems and the fact that you don’t have to be in a crisis before going for counselling. The safe space it offers enables you to know yourself better and live more harmoniously with others. These discoveries will help me greatly as I journey with persons discerning a vocation with the Marist Fathers.

Xavier Sariman, Marist Fathers, Papua New Guinea.

My experience of daily liturgy in Loreto House was one of creativity and inclusivity. We learned to integrate our daily liturgical celebrations with the daily inputs, as well as with the emerging needs of our world. The multicultural celebrations were truly memorable.
