We acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which we walk, live and work. We recognise their living culture and their unique role in the life of the areas in which Mercy Partners ministries are located. We pay tribute to all of those who have nurtured this country over many thousands of years, deriving spiritual and physical needs from the seas, forests, soil, rivers, lakes and streams. We join with our First Nations people in honouring this land as sacred. We welcome the Uluru Statement from the Heart and support an Indigenous voice to parliament, enshrined in the Australian Constitution.
Formation is much more than training and education because it is about the internalisation of values, attitudes and ways of seeing, and the maturation of faith.
Curtin, 2012
Mercy Partners Formation develops resources for use by ministry leaders. The resources are designed to support leadership and enhance Catholic identity and mission.
Our resources include:
Prayers
Mercy Partners Formation develops an annual prayer resource for use in meetings and reflection days. The 2022 Prayer Resource focusses on the Parables of Jesus. Prayer posts can be regularly found on our social media feeds.
Reflections
Mercy Moments, Lenten and Advent Moments are sent to your inbox fortnightly and weekly respectively. These moments are topical, informative and at times challenging. You can subscribe to receive our Moment series below.
