Religious Education Pathway

Calling all catechists and Catholic school educators!

This pathway was created to guide you through the programs and supplemental resources that can provide your parish’s young people with a well-grounded faith formation. With a FORMED subscription, your parish and school have access to engaging content that is catechetically sound and professionally produced. FORMED media is available for classroom use or for families to view at home, with many programs offered in both English and Spanish.

The Augustine Institute provides a DRE Pathway below for making the most of the content available on FORMED that can serve your catechists and establish a solid foundation for your parish’s youth in their faith journeys.
