The formation community situated in Bangalore has the formation of the novices as its specific purpose. Each one of the members of the community gives herself to this mission according to her gifts and talents and availability. With the novices, we try to build together a community which will be the privileged place for their formation. The life and mission of this community is centred on the integral formation of the novices. Living authentically our own consecrated life as Dominican Sisters of Charity of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin, is the best and unique way to live our mission of formation. This implies being faithful to the Lord through our Personal prayer, community prayer, liturgical prayer and other spiritual exercises. It means to accept each one as she is with all her differences, strengths and weaknesses and allow her to form herself in freedom and responsibility and respond to her apostolic religious vocation. It entails giving witness to our commitment to the Lord by living our vows of obedience, poverty and chastity genuinely. The witness of living our apostolic commitments outside of the formation community challenges the novices to grow in their sense of mission. The formative experience of the prayer life, study, contemplation, vowed life, community life and mission of the sisters prepares the novices to respond to God’s love by committing herself to Him through the Congregation.
