Ongoing formation

“We are all in a lifelong process of development, of being and yet becoming. Each sister accepts the primary responsibility for her continuing growth as a woman religious. She is guided by her need for personal development and by the common good of the congregation and its mission. We aid one another in carrying out this responsibility by choosing ways of being and interacting in community which enable us to become the persons God created us to be.”

YAS, Constitution 45
