Plans to provide formation for all those involved in the new Ministerial Public Juridic Person are taking shape, says Richard Kerr-Bell, who works with Margaret Endicott rsm and Lorraine McArthur in the PJP Formation for Mission Committee.

The specific aim of the programme is to create a sense of whānau Mercy and to form hearts that will foster a commitment to mission. It is hoped that participants will be helped to ensure that the charism of Mercy remains authentic and vibrant within the Catholic Church in Aotearoa New Zealand.
