Informations about Formation
Our vocation to follow Jesus Christ in the Congregation of the Sisters of Divine Providence is a personal call from God, who as the living and loving God always attends to us. We give our personal response to this call always anew in freedom and love. Thus, our answer is given in a life-long process and finds its accomplishment in the initial phases of the postulate, noviciate and juniorate, as well as in the stages of on-going formation. (cf. Constitution No. 69)
In the last few months we were happy about the courageous ‘YES’ of young women, who have dared taking further steps in the process of their discipleship of Jesus Christ in our Congregation. We accompany and support them with our prayers. May each one of them go her way in joy, knowing with certainty that God, who makes a Covenant with each one of them personally, will never abandon them:
