7.Relationships and personal contact.

 

Relationships and personal contact through the follow-up and vocational discernment through visits (school, family, meetings...) and personal contact (phone calls, WhatsApp, Messenger, letters...) are indispensable. This requires audacity, effort and perseverance.

 

In communion with the local Church and social structures:

- Contact with the vocation animators of the dioceses to request permission to do vocational animation and to participate in the activities they program by the diocesan vocation ministry.

- Contact with the priests and catechists of the parishes to do vocational animation in the same, either in the Sunday Eucharist or with the catechetical groups. They can suggest some young people who has interest and possibilities to do process with us.

- Contact with the principals and teachers (especially of religion) of the schools to obtain permissions, arrange visits and maintain contact with the students.

 

 

Relationship with the candidates and their families:

- Personal and regular contact with the candidates through phone calls, video conferences, WhatsApp, Messenger, letters... to be interested in their situation and follow up through worksheet. It is important to know the candidate, as well as that he knows us, to offer him information to awaken his interest in us, creating a relationship of empathy.

- Contact with the families of the candidates by means of phone calls or visits to make us known, to know the family reality, to clarify doubts, to create trust and to give the necessary information so that the inconveniences for the entry in the formation house are solved.

- Sometimes this first period of mutual acquaintance is prolonged in time by various situations, this is why it is necessary to establish, by mutual agreement, regular contact or accompaniment that will involve sending materials, answers from the candidate or periodic interviews.
