    The Formation for Discipleship in the Congregation of Saint Theresa Sisters of the Child Jesus in Bukoba Diocese-Tanzania
    (Tangaza University College, 2005-10) Stanislaus, Regina
    The purpose of this study is to know more about formation in general so as to do well in my mission of trying to present to future members of the congregation of St. Theresa Sisters of the Child Jesus the real picture about formation. I also would like to present to them the life of our founder for the purpose of discipleship in the congregation. The basic reason why I want to focus on formation for the discipleship in the congregation of St Theresa Sisters of the Child Jesus is to establish its relevance in the life of the sisters, to deepen their understanding and appreciation about formation for discipleship. This is through enumerating the stages of formation and finally presenting its relevance in the congregation. Hence, it is my hope that at the end of my work I may deepen the understanding and appreciation of proper formation for discipleship among our members. The intent of this long essay is to present to future sisters the concept of formation for discipleship in the congregation of St Theresa Sisters of the Child Jesus of Bukoba Diocese, Tanzania. This work is divided into four chapters. In the first chapter I will present the historical background and the development of the St. Theresa Sisters of the Child Jesus and the life of the founder. The second chapter will be dedicated to the integration of formation and the charism/ spirituality of the congregation. In the third chapter I will focus on the call and formation discipleship in the Gospel of Mark. The fourth chapter deals with the important role of the formator. The fifth chapter gives general conclusions. The primary sources of this work are periodical literature, various people interviewed at different stages, the Constitutions of the St. Theresa Sisters of the Child Jesus, and my own experience and others as acknowledged in the text.
