Regional Formation Hub
A stable point for sustained disciple-making
​
When a community matures in formation, renewal can begin to take root in a particular place.
​
A Regional Formation Hub is not a new institution or independent center.
It is a local team that desires to continue the foundational path of disciple-making, working in collaboration with God Mediation Ministry and always in communion with the local Church.
How a Hub Emerges
A hub is discerned only when:
-
A group has completed Christ-Like Listening (Part 1 & Part 2)
-
Members have served as helpers in both the Made for More Retreat and Christ-Like Listening
-
Local leaders demonstrate spiritual maturity and ecclesial responsibility
-
Permission is granted in writing by God Mediation Ministry
-
The local parish priest or competent authority is informed
-
When required, the local Ordinary gives consent
Only after these steps may a team facilitate Christ-Like Listening – Part 1 locally.
Annual Regional formation
To preserve unity and depth of formation:
-
The Made for More Retreat is organized once each year in a central location by the local team and facilitated by Fr. Dominic and his team.
-
Christ-Like Listening – Part 2 is facilitated annually by Fr. Dominic and his team
-
Participants from various parishes gather together
This ensures continuity, doctrinal fidelity, and shared mission.
Ecclesial Communion
All formation remains within the life of the Church.
​
The diocesan Bishop is “the teacher of the faith and shepherd of the particular Church entrusted to him” (cf. can. 375 §1; can. 386 §1).
Lay initiatives and apostolic works operate in communion with ecclesiastical authority (cf. can. 216).
​
Therefore:
-
Parishioners act with the blessing of their parish priest
-
Ordained ministers act with the written consent of their Ordinary
-
Regional Formation Hubs exist only in ecclesial communion
​
God Mediation Ministry does not replace local authority.
It supports formation while remaining subject to the Church’s discipline.​​
