Core and
Associate Members are expected to make a commitment of two years or
more.
Formation Members follow one of three programmes.
1)
Youth Programme: Young people who are aged between
18-25 and are looking for a one or two year commitment follow our
intensive training and formation programme.
2) Discernment Programme: for people who are exploring
how long a commitment they want to make to Sion Community and about
their future call from God.
3) Induction Programme: for people who are joining
Sion Community with the intention of making a medium to long term
commitment and who have already had a period of Christian and Community
Formation.
Our
Community
Sion Community is a committed fellowship - all our Core, Associate
and Formation Members make a formal commitment. We also have a Volunteer
Visitors programme for people who do not feel ready to make a formal
commitment. Potential members work with us for a period of time before
making any such commitment.
Our
Work
You must possess the desire to evangelise. Experience in evangelisation
is desirable but not essential - we will equip you for the work and
community life. Some of our members have studied theology, others
have not - we ask that you be teachable. We aspire to use the talents
God has bestowed upon us - new members bring new opportunities and
potential to our work.
Priesthood
in Sion Community
Sion Community has its own structure for training for the priesthood.
Presently, the Church has a tremendous need to train men in a specific
way, so that the exhortations of Vatican II can be properly implemented.
It is also vital that a style of Missionary Priesthood emerge so that
evangelisation can be a high priority in the life of the Church and
the world.
