The sabbatical programme was a fruitful and refreshing one. The six months programme of sabbatical and ongoing formation was very accurate and timely for me.
The courses were all well arranged and organised and was able to meet my needs at the right time. The courses were all very rich and resourceful. I cannot list out all the courses but it was an all rounder programme where I developed new skills for my pastoral activities and for myself. I was also exposed to more church’s documents too.
The programme was very relaxing as I had enough time for rest and prayers and reflections. This made me recover my health and energy. The inclusion of co-journeying once a week and the group processing helped me in my own personal and spiritual processing and enhanced my growth.
I will strongly recommend the ICOF programme to religious and priests who really want a gracefilled sabbatical programme. It was not just for rest for me but also for growth in the spirit.
Thank you.
