Our Mission: "Go, and make disciples of all people, and proclaim the Gospel to everyone!"
We are excited to announce that our parish has subscribed to a dynamic new online resource called FORMED. Every parishioner has 24/7 access to the best Catholic content on any device, including your computer, smartphone, or tablet with internet access. With FORMED you will find video programs that explain the Catholic faith, explore the deepest meaning of marriage, receive Bible studies on a variety of topics, and includes inspiring audio talks. You will find presenters like Dr Tim Gray, Dr Edward Sri, Dr Mary Healey, Dr Scott Hahn, and Bishop Robert Barron. It is truly the Catholic faith - on demand! It is like Netflix for Catholics!!
You can access FORMED at www.FORMED.org, then scroll to the bottom of the page and enter our parish access code in the box entitled “Does your parish already have FORMED?” Our access code is J642V2. You will need to register by setting up a user name and password. From there you will have free access to all the resources on the site including movies, books, programs, and audio recordings. There are resources for adults, children, and youth. If you have questions you can call Davida or Jeannie at 466-4991.
This program comes to us through the generosity of one family in our parish who has agreed to pay for the subscription to get us started. As you use the resources available at FORMED, please keep this family in prayer.
The USCCB says “the Church's catechetical mission aims to help the faithful of all ages to grow in both human and Christian maturity, enriching the whole of life with the leaven of the Gospel.” St Joseph Parish offers a wide range of opportunities for everyone of all ages to explore the rich heritage of the Catholic faith, “helping them to form a Christian conscience and to live their lives in the world as faithful disciples of Jesus.”
