- The purpose of the brothers’ formation is to develop their human qualities and the Christian virtues so that they will be able to live a truly Dominican life; this will enable them to take an appropriate part in the life and government of the community.
- Since they share in the Order’s apostolate through profession, the brothers are to be trained for the exercise of an appropriate apostolate, thus becoming true co-operators in the mission of the Order.
- Since it generally happens that the co-operator brothers have different aptitudes, and that their contributions to the Order’s work can take many forms, they should be given formation suited to their respective abilities, bearing in mind the needs of the Church and the Order in each region.
