Angel Schneider re-imagined her parish’s sacramental program from the ground up. Angel and her team designed Family Retreat Days that include catechetical instruction found in FORMED programs like Forgiven and Presence, time for parent-and-children activities, a shared lunch, a field trip to the church’s confessional, and a time for everyone to discuss what they had learned about the importance of Confession and the Holy Eucharist.

Angel joins the Augustine Institute’s Brian Truckenbrod on this Parish Leader Webinar to talk about how FORMED programs like Forgiven and Presence can bear fruit for and bring goodness to your sacramental preparation programs for families.
