Madagascar - FTIM [November 2024]

Project 3620 - Association of the monasteries of Madagascar

Session of formation - FTIM

The contemplative monasteries of Madagascar and the Indian Ocean meet every year for training sessions for superiors, formators and cellarers. Since 2007, a theology and philosophy training cycle has been in place for young monks and nuns.

In March 2023, studies were reorganised and the course was renamed: the Studium Inter-monastères de Madagascar (SIM) became the Formation Théologique Inter-monastères de Madagascar (FTIM). It is open to all young professed men and women (temporary and solemn), and lasts six or seven years, with three ten-day sessions per year and an examination session.

Project

The current group is entering its 3rd year, with 3 sessions of 10 days per year. Between sessions, the students write a paper. In each monastery, a tutor is appointed to monitor the students' work. Financial support is needed to cover the costs of the sessions.

Requested amount: 9,390 euros.
