I am thrilled to tell you that our Parish subscription to Formed.org has come through. And as parishioners you are entitled to a free subscription to the service.

What is Formed.org?

It's basically Catholic Netflix - a streaming service which allows you to view Catholic content on demand. It has inspirational movies and documentaries on the lives of the saints, programs about the Scriptures and the Catholic faith, and it has some terrific programs for kids. You can participate in Mass and other devotions. There are audio programs and audiobooks for when you're on the go, and there is a wide selection of ebooks, both fiction and non-fiction.

How do I get access to it?

It's free to you under our parish subscription! So, take a look.
