The Formed Resource Center is designed for parish leaders and anyone helping support the life and mission of a parish, including pastors, Directors of Religious Education, youth ministers, catechists, ministry leaders, and volunteers.

If you’re looking for practical ways to bring Formed into your ministry, the Resource Center gives you Pathways, promotional tools, training, and support to help you get started.

Pathways are ready-to-use formation experiences designed to make it easier to bring Formed into the life of your parish.

Each Pathway brings together carefully selected Formed content with the practical resources you need to promote, prepare, and lead a formation experience. This will include a Playbook, discussion questions, promotional materials, participant resources, and suggested schedules.

Pathways are also flexible. A Pathway might become a one-day retreat, a weekly sacramental preparation program, a small group, or something adapted specifically for your community.

Start by choosing the Pathway that best fits what you’re hoping to do. Each one includes guidance to help you understand the audience, content, resources, and different ways it can be used.

From there, make it your own. Our audience and category recommendations are there to give you a starting point, not to limit you. You know your community best, and you’re welcome to adapt the Pathway to serve the people in front of you.

Not sure where to begin? Watch the welcome video on the Pathway page or connect with our Implementation Team for help.

Each Pathway includes a suggested audience based on its Formed content, discussion materials, and intended level of formation.

These recommendations are designed to help you find a good starting point, but they aren’t strict requirements. You know your community best, so if you believe a Pathway would serve another group in yourparish, feel free to adapt it accordingly.

Visit the Upcoming Workshops section above to see what’scoming up. Select the workshop you’d like to attend and register to receive thesession details.

There’s no need to register! Office Hours are a drop-in opportunity to speak directly with one of our Implementation Specialists. Simply choose the scheduled time that works for you and use the Zoom link to join.

Come with a question, an idea, or anything you’d like help working through.

Absolutely. We want the Resource Center to reflect the real needs of parish ministry. If there’s a Pathway, resource, or workshop topic that would better support your parish, let our Implmentation Team know.

Reach out to us at parishcare@formed.org and we will be happy to help.
