It begins with a period of inquiry and discernment, helping candidates recognize God’s call. This is followed by basic formation, which builds a solid human and spiritual foundation. The stage of specific formation deepens consecrated life and missionary identity, before moving into advanced formation, which helps members mature and prepare themselves to serve the Church and humanity in the love of the Precious Blood of Christ.
