Kuching Archdiocese now on FORMED

Sep 14, 2019

The Archdiocese  of Kuching has begun subscribing to FORMED.

FORMED is a subscription service offering access to thousands of studies, films, audios, and ebooks. It contains digital media from over 40 best Catholic content producers, including the Augustine Institute, Ignatius Press, the USCCB, Catholic Answers, EWTN, St Paul’s Centre, Marian Press, Sophia Press, Knights of Columbus and FOCUS. One hundred and fourteen participants were introduced to it in a day session by the FORMED Team from the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur, led by Fr John Gnanapiragasam and his two assistants, Caroline Soon and Alistair. It was a Missionary Year initiative by the KL FORMED Team, in collaboration with Kuching Archdiocesan Faith Formation Team under the leadership of Fr Patrick Heng.

Archbishop Simon Poh, who was present throughout the sessions, encouraged everyone – lay Catholics, catechists, and clergy alike – to sign up and use the resources in FORMED as widely and as much as they could.

FORMED can be accessed from its website (formed.org) and mobile apps (iOS and Android). It is not only a great tool for evangelisation, but also for the use of individual Catholics who would like to deepen their faith. --Today's Catholic
