Italy: Meeting of European formators

From the 27th to the 31st January 2025, 38 directors met at Bocca di Magra, at the spiritual centre of the Ligurian Province.  They came from 18 different European circumscriptions. : Austria, Italy, Malta, France, Spain, Poland, Portugal, Croatia, Czech Republic and Belgium, but there were also present formators from Lebanon, Egypt and the International Theological College of Rome.  The work focused on the revision of the projected new Ratio Institutionis.  It was a great and enriching opportunity for everyone to share their own experience of the formation process in an international context.

The formators also had an opportunity to visit the historical centre of Pisa for an afternoon.  This meeting of formators from Europe at Bocca di Magra was intense and fruitful, not only for the contributions to the production of the new Ratio Institutionis, but also through the reinforcement of fraternal connections, and the renewed commitment to the training and spiritual mission.
