Growing FORMED in Your Parish: Using the New Eternal Rest Program

Growing FORMED in Your Parish: Using the New Eternal Rest Program

by | Jan 12, 2023 | Adult Ministry, Parish/ Pastoral, Programs, Webinar

John Essegian and Tony Merenda have helped their parish, St. John Paul II in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, understand how to make the most of FORMED. John and Tony can help you with tips about how to use FORMED resources across parish ministries and how to increase FORMED registration across your parish.

Recently, John and Tony hosted a very successful in-person parish program featuring Eternal Rest, a new four-part series from FORMED. Eternal Rest asks and answers the big questions Catholics have about death and dying and equips Catholics to think about and prepare for death in the light of Jesus Christ, the author of life.

Learn how John and Tony planned a two-night Eternal Rest event that drew so many parishioners together in faith.

Firing Up Parishioners’ Faith with The Search: Fr. Jeff Gubbiotti

by | Jun 1, 2022 | Adult Ministry, Parish/ Pastoral, Webinar

A campfire sprang into the pastor’s mind as a place of comfort and conversation.  That thought led to the image of tongues of fire, hearkening to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. From there, the idea evolved quickly into a plan for a faith-filled, yet fun and relaxing evening for parishioners.  Hear from Fr. Jeff Gubbiotti about how he used The Search and other resources on FORMED to craft outreach programs to both the men and the women of his parish and community. Brian Truckenbrod and Susan Murray of the Augustine Institute will welcome Fr. Jeff to the webinar.
