Ministry Resources

Success Stories

Some of the best advice about how to use the programs on FORMED comes from pastors, parish staff members, and ministry leaders. The Augustine Institute has gathered these testimonials and case studies to inspire your own efforts, give you practical tips for how to structure and promote programs in your parish, and suggest resources from FORMED that will breathe new life into your ministries.

Enjoy reading the stories from fellow Catholic leaders! And if you have a great story about how a program or video from formed.org bore much fruit in your parish, we at the Augustine Institute would love to hear what happened. Please contact us to share your good news!
