FORMED
FORMED is an innovative online platform through
which our parishioners can have access to a wide
range of top-quality faith formation resources from
Bishop Robert Barron, the Augustine Institute,
Father Michael Gaitley, Lighthouse Catholic Media,
and several others.
It is an effective tool that can support your efforts in
the areas of adult faith formation, sacramental prepa-
ration, youth ministry, marriage ministry and more.
A number of Spanish-language resources are also
available on FORMED and new materials are being
added regularly.
We encourage new users to join. Signing up is
FREE!
Please visit www.formed.org and enter our parish
code:3X6HXC
Parish Survey
Please help us participate by completing a 10-15
minute survey as soon as possible.
Go to www.disciplemakerindex.com to complete the
survey. There are also paper copies available at the
back of each worship site or by contacting the rectory
at 610-857-3510.
The survey will only be available until this Monday,
March 5 and will ask you to reflect on your own
spiritual growth and enable you to provide feedback
on what efforts the parish is doing to help you grow.
All responses will be confidential and the parish will
only receive information about the community as
whole. We are trying to get the highest response rate
possible.
This information will be invaluable to our church and
our various ministries as we plan ahead and try to be
the best disciples we can be.
We will receive the results this spring/summer at
which time we will share what we have learned with
the entire parish.
Thank you for helping with this important project!
