FIP focuses in on formation leadership, Hispanic cultural context within the US and the ongoing service within the country as central elements to institutes. Acknowledging the changing landscape, budgetary cuts, and changing personal, reduction of staff, and new documents (Co-Workers in the Vineyard) FIP recognizes a variety of memberships for inclusion within the FIP community:
Institutes: good old institutes (those free standing institutes which contain the core elements as
found in our mission): Congar Institute
Affiliates: those providing formation programs based either diocesan, regional or local concerns and needs: Diocese of Camden, NJ
Friends: those who support, encourage and make known the mission of FIP in the public forum: Ligouri
How do we become members?
Incorporation into FIP is based on yearly payment of dues. Institutes, affiliates and friends become members of FIP by payment of an annual fee. (By Laws FIP)
The annual fee for 2010-2011 is $150. For more information please contact us at info@fipusa.org.
