What is Ministry Formation?
“Ministry formation creates experiences that invite those who serve in Catholic health care to discover connections between personal meaning and organizational purpose. These connections inspire and enable participants to articulate, integrate, and implement the distinctive elements of Catholic health ministry so that it flourishes now and into the future.”
The Center for Ministry Formation
The Center for Ministry Formation (CMF) is the resource center for ministry formation at Bon Secours Mercy Health (BSMH) to support the prophetic tradition of Catholic health care.
CMF provides personal and communal ministry formation experiences that focus on the integration of the following areas: Catholic health care ministry, organizational mission, individual spirituality, and the commitment to work towards systemic change and the common good in our society.
CMF collaborates with other BSMH departments and initiatives (e.g., Mission, Leadership and Organizational Development, Governance, Clinical Collaborative) and external partners (e.g., Catholic Health Association) to provide the resources and support for all associates to embody the core culture behaviors of BSMH.
