Formed
Augustine Institute
Imagine a parish library that fits in your pocket and plays on your TV. That's Formed, the Catholic streaming platform from the Augustine Institute. It offers courses, films, documentaries, audiobooks, podcasts, e-books and children's programs, on the web, phones and smart TVs.
The catalog includes catechetical series like Symbolon, Bible studies, sacramental preparation programs, saint biographies and feature films, plus talks from Catholic speakers. You can follow a structured course, watch a movie with your family or listen to an audiobook on your commute. The library is big enough that it's worth asking your catechist which series fits where you are in OCIA.
It suits inquirers who want lots of options in one place, families, and parishes that want a shared resource. Here's the good news. Some parishes buy a subscription that every parishioner can use, so ask your parish office for the access code before paying for an individual plan.
