2013-16: Post-Ordination Formation
According to the Directory, "[t]he goal for
this path in formation is to responsibly address the various aspects of
a deacon's ministry, the development of his personality and, above all,
his commitment to spiritual growth" (#239). This phase of formation is
divided into two parts: the initial three years after ordination and
life-long formation.
