Loreto Formation Framework

The Loreto Formation Framework was developed to strengthen formation processes across boards and committees of all ministries governed by the Loreto Province of Australia and South East Asia, including the Province itself, Loreto Ministries Ltd, Mary Ward International Australia, and Loreto Vietnam.

The Framework provides the philosophical context, rationale and objectives of Loreto formation and highlights nine topic areas under the headings: Story (ST), Spirituality (SP), and Scope (SC).

Throughout 2021, suites of resources and processes for the first three topics will be developed.

Topic 1 | SP1:  Mary Ward’s Spirituality

Topic 2 | ST1:  The Institute Story

Topic 3 | SC1:  Leadership

The Loreto Formation Framework and accompanying resources are a starting point for developing student and staff formation programs in all Loreto Province ministries.
