ROAD MAP

 

HOJA DE RUTA – ROAD MAP –FEUILLE DE ROUTE

 

The Sa-Fa Vocational Team defines its programming in the Roadmap for the period 2020 - 2022.

This Roadmap defines four major nuclei aimed at the following targeted groups: the Team itself (Roots), the Vocational Animators (Cluster), the Sa-Fa Family (Pro-vocation) and the vocational candidates (Fertility).

It is an open program that is not only limited to the written framework but also it is open to new initiatives. The Team's way of working will favour an interaction with each of the four nuclei. New initiatives, demands or needs will arise from the interaction to which the Team will be open to favour its objectives.

The working method will normally be based on specific projects and proposals rather than general objectives.

We present in the following table the guidelines on which the Team's efforts will be focused:

PHASE 1: ROOTS

 Intended for members of the Sa-Fa Vocation Team.

Work on the motivations and foundations of the vocational animation with a searching attitude.

- Gathering information about the vocational reality in the Institute and making it known to the vocation animators.

- Coordinating the various proposals.

- Motivating the vocational Animators by seeking reasons, examples, experiences and realities that support the truth, beauty and goodness of our vocation, for example: good administration of resources, human and religious companionship and support in personal weakness, congregational creative capacity, working together for shared ideals, getting in love of God.

- Psyche: Psychological aspects that help to grow into a F.S.F. vocation. Encouraging young people to discover in our Communities the resources, examples and models to heal and integrate vulnerability.

- BGT: To investigate how Brother Gabriel lived out his vocational animation and discovering the inspiring lines that bore fruit.

- Ingredients of the Vocational Animation: To prepare a document that will serve as a source for the work with the animators.

- Searchers: To search for vocational experiences that are bearing fruit, within or outside our Congregation and share them with other vocational animators so that they can adapt them to their contexts.

PHase 2: CLUSTER.

PHase 3: Pro-vocación.

Tools that help to share with the Sa-Fa Family the vocational response incarnated.
