Throughout the Easter season, we have parish-wide studies, recommendations for family faith formation, and more!

Offer a Parish-wide Study This Easter Season

A parish-wide study is meant to help Catholics build holy habits and become proactive in their own faith formation as individuals and families. By encouraging parishioners to take part in a parish-wide study, you empower individuals and families to begin building these holy habits and learning their faith on a regular basis on FORMED. 

Keys to an effective parish-wide study are the following:

  1. Having your pastor’s involvement with a personal invitation
  2. Ongoing reminders in the bulletin, pulpit announcements, and through personal invitations
  3. Delving into the study in homilies to help the parish learn as one
