A group of formators and representatives from dioceses and religious congregations joined academic staff at the Pontifical University on Wednesday 12 November. It was the first gathering in a new cycle of listening and consultation. The focus is to work together so that those preparing for ordained ministry, and students pursuing postgraduate or pastoral studies, can truly flourish. Our shared aim is to bring intellectual formation into deeper harmony with every dimension of formation, strengthening the support we offer as they grow in faith, learning and service.
