ASSOCIATES/VOLUNTEERS
WHAT IS AN ASSOCIATE?
An RNDM Associate is an individual who
chooses to enter a formal process of becoming part of the RNDM community. An
Associate is a person who wants to share in the mission and charism of the congregation
without becoming a member of the religious community. Associates are male and
female, old and young, single and married.
There are different styles and focuses of
Associate programs based on the different countries. Some Associates become actively
involved in the mission of the Sisters by volunteering their services to share in their
apostolate(s) at home or going to one of the mission countries where help is needed. ie.
An Australian Associate spent 18 months working in Senegal in the health care field.
For others, being an Associate means prayer support and for others it means financial
support of the works and missions.
Each country is responsible for the setting
up and the formation involved in people entering their Associate Program. If you are
