What is involved in the formation process?
The formation process involves week-long seminars at the Center for Diaconal Ministry in Valparaiso, IN, each year during formation. Students are assigned to a deaconess mentor throughout formation for support and guidance. They are also required to attend the annual meeting of this community, held in various locations around the country. Formation includes self-reflection and experiences that help students grow in their deaconess identity and service.
