We are guided by the National Catholic Education Commission (NCEC) document "A Framework for Mission in Catholic Education" and by the movements of Spirituality of the Heart to facilitate formation that:

• takes account of the lived reality of lay people (past and present) and their diverse spiritual journeys and engages the charism in a meaningful and relevant way;
• follows sound adult learning principles and acknowledges respected theories of human development (physical, psychological, spiritual & emotional development). This is an ongoing process, requiring both time and resources;
• respects and actively acknowledges the inter-relationship between body, mind and spirit;
• up-skills and forms 'formators' so as to empower them to facilitate formation in their local contexts;
• seeks out and makes available resources that are supportive of our mission and vision;
• plans and offers a range of liturgical experiences as an integral part of all formation experiences.
