SR.  ESTRELLITA  ORLINO, SPC
Directress of Continuous Formation


Formation to religious life does not end with perpetual profession. The religious is continually challenged to mature in all aspects : physical, psychological, intellectual and spiritual, in order to deepen her vocational response. The scope of continuing formation is wide with the local community as the chief place of formation. There are, however, outstanding moments called SPIRITUAL RENEWAL PROGRAM of forty days which each perpetually professed sister undergoes after every five years. A special fifteen day-SPIRITUAL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM is given to those of three years after perpetual.

"I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you" (2 Tim 1:6). These words of our   patron, St. Paul, to Timothy can appropriately be applied to all of us most especially our PV 1, 2 and 3, who are called by virtue of the gift of vocation and religious profession. But we are not alone : God Himself rekindles his own gift. He gives us His Spirit who consecrates and sends forth. We are configured to the likeness of Jesus Christ - "Not I live but Christ lives in me" (Gal. 2:20) and we are urged to have an increased awareness and audacity to do our share in Christ's saving mission within the Church.
