Ongoing Formation for Priests in the Society of St. Eugene de Mazenod (SDM)
Ongoing formation in the Society of St. Eugene de Mazenod (SDM) is essential for the spiritual and pastoral development of its priests. Grounded in the profound vision of St. Eugene de Mazenod, we emphasize the vital importance of reaching out to the most marginalized and loving the unloved. Our founder’s vision serves as both a guiding light and a mandate, compelling us to embrace those who are often overlooked and forgotten in society. This formation process is designed to deepen our understanding of our vocation and mission, fostering a strong commitment to serve those in greatest need.
Through regular opportunities for spiritual renewal, theological education, and pastoral practice, we continually enrich our faith and ministry. This ongoing formation not only helps us stay aligned with the teachings of the Church but also empowers us to embody the compassionate spirit of our founder. By immersing ourselves in St. Eugene’s legacy, we become more effective instruments of God’s love and mercy.
As we engage with diverse communities, we are constantly reminded of our mission to bring hope, healing, and the love of Christ to the most vulnerable. It is through this commitment to our founder’s vision that we ensure the legacy of St. Eugene de Mazenod lives on through our dedicated service, transforming lives and building a more compassionate world.
