OVERALL FEELING ABOUT SALESIAN PERSONAL ACCOMPANIMENT Great esteem for its value and desire to continue it and propose it to others… SOUND IDEAL & FERTILE SOIL!

LIMITED EXPLORATION 1. What is more helpful in the journey of formation (SPA among…) 2. What is happening WITHIN the experience of accompaniment 3. The relationship between the one guided and the guide 4. Rector and Confessor and Spiritual Guide roles and presence

APPROACH – INITIATION TO SPA v 75% during INITIAL FORMATION v Challenge for YOUTH MINISTRY v Opportunity/responsibility (‘munus’) for FORMATORS in PRENOVITIATE

WITH WHOM SPA? v 85/90% with the DIRECTOR of PRENOVITIATE and NOVITIATE v Relevant variations at Regional and Provincial level during the Postnovitiate (role and ‘quality’ of the Rector) v Growing differentiation during Practical Training and especially Specific Formation between Rector/rendiconto – Spiritual guide/accompaniment v Growing closness/identification between confessor and spiritual guide

‘WITHIN’ THE SPA TRUST and FEAR towards the ‘guide’: • 70% - 30% variable… • the role of authority and the trust/confidence indispensable for a true relationship of SPA • ‘I can share everything’ – ‘I will not tell all my secrets’ both very high score; ‘ltd’ confidentiality • Feeling that confidentiality is not kept and ‘what I say is used against me’ (novitiate 12. 2% - practical training 31%)

‘WITHIN’ THE SPA TRUST from the guide towards the one guided Feeling LACK of TRUST • • Prenovitiate – 20% Novitiate – 12. 3% Postnovitiate – 41. 1% Specific Formation Clerics – 46. 1% Specific Formation Brothers – 46. 9%

‘WITHIN’ THE SPA • 32. 5 % of novices feel as disturbing and not helpful the fact that the Novice Director and the Spiritual Guide are the same person • 44% of Postnovices find disturbing and not helpful the fact that the meeting with the guide are not frequent / Rector problem: ‘too busy’ • In the open answers recurring appeal/appreciation for FREEDOM in choosing

WITH WHOM SPA? v 85/90% with the DIRECTOR of PRENOVITIATE and NOVITIATE v Relevant variations at Regional and Provincial level during the Postnovitiate (role and ‘quality’ of the Rector) v Growing differentiation during Practical Training and especially Specific Formation between Rector/rendiconto – Spiritual guide/accompaniment v Growing closness/identification between confessor and spiritual guide

FREQUENCE Note: relevant variations. . . v Monthly and above for around 90% for confessor v Around 80% monthly for rendiconto v Above 75% monthly for Spiritual guidance

THE SDB GUIDING From the side of those in initial formation: • Great expectation of good FATHERLY and LISTENING attitude/abilities/skills… (especially in reference to Rectors) • Demand for their qualification and availability • Expectation highly met and appreciated / strongly missed ( feeling of lowliness & being neglected) • Fear because of ‘authority role’ and ‘too busy’ as emerging problems

THE SDB GUIDING From the side of SDB accompanying: § Supportive relationship. Enhancing wellbeing and self-confidence, growth in temperament & human maturity issues (33%) § Support in time of important choices (vocation / studies…) (34%) § ‘Growth in Christ’ beyond the punctual solutions of other problems (39. 3%) (‘discernment’? ? ? ) § Not felt the need of further formation
