Cor Vitae Formators Training (Manila)

Chris Chaplin, MSC, is in the Philippines to facilitate some sessions with the participants of Cor Vitae’s nine-month formation training. This year, there are a total of 14 MSC Sisters, FDNSC, and MSC priests participating.

For July, Chris will be facilitating sessions on Integrity in Ministry, Facilitation, Fr. Chevalier and his times, and the Spirituality of the Heart.

Chris shares that the participating formators, together with the Cor Vitae Team: Sr. Cathie Mwagioidi and Sr. Cecilia Kim, are a wonderfully engaged group to work with.
