After final vows a sister takes responsibility for her ongoing formation and development in dialogue with other members of her community. The Sisters of St Louis commit to supporting her in this. Continued formation is an integrated process of renewal which extends to all aspects of each sister’s life and the whole Institute itself.  It is carried out, taking into account the fact that its different aspects are inseparable from, and mutually influential in, the life of each religious and every community.  The programme includes days of renewal and recollection as well as short courses, workshops, faith sharing and discussion on issues relevant to the religious life, church and mission.
