We are excited to make available to our parishioners a dynamic new online platform called FORMED.
Every parishioner has 24/7 access to the best Catholic teaching content on any device, including your computer, smartphone and tablet with internet access.
With FORMED you’ll 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. And, you’ll find presenters like Dr. Tim Gray, Dr. Edward Sri, Dr. Mary Healey, Chris Stefanick, Dr. Scott Hahn, and a lot more.
All of this is available to you through our parish subscription.
Considering the number of programs in society that undermine our faith at every opportunity, FORMED is a great way to bolster what we believe, why we believe it, and how we can live it every day. FORMED truly is the Catholic faith - on demand.

The Life of St Antony- The First Monk Series
Lenten Series presented by Monsignor Bransfield
The Life of Saint Antony the first monk
Explore one of the greatest Christian classics from the 4th century and reflect on the radical faith and courage of Saint Antony of Egypt, the Father of Monasticism and the first hermit. This series draws deeply from The Life of St. Antony, written by Athanasius of Alexandria, a foundational spiritual work that has inspired Christians for centuries. You do not need the book to enjoy or fully participate in this series; however, if you would like to read along, you can purchase it through Amazon or your local bookstore. Through Saint Antony’s powerful witness, this series offers a profound Lenten reflection on what it means to surrender fully to God and pursue a life of holiness.
The Resurrection Narratives
Join us for The Resurrection Narratives, a three‑part series led by Monsignor Brian Bransfield.
We will explore the biblical accounts of Jesus’ resurrection as presented in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Together, we will examine the discovery of the empty tomb and the post‑resurrection appearances of the Risen Lord, comparing how each Gospel uniquely tells the event.
