Over 100 Certified Catechists
This spring, over 100 individuals throughout Eastern Montana will begin the process of becoming certified catechists. The Catechist Certification Program, through Augustine Institute, equips individuals with knowledge and valuable resources, as they pass on the Faith through the ministry of catechesis. Individuals participating in this certification program represent nearly half of the parishes/missions in the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings. Let us pray for them as they progress through their studies.
FORMED.org for Everyone
Last month, it was announced that the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings has entered into an agreement with FORMED. This agreement affords every parish, Catholic school, and Catholic household, of the Great Falls-Billings Diocese, access to the platform of formed.org for one full year, at no charge. This partnership has been made possible because of the financial dedication of Bishop Warfel, through the Diocesan Synod on the Domestic Church, and generous grant opportunities through Augustine Institute, the parent company of FORMED. If you have not already set up your account at www.formed.org, reach out to your parish for more information, or follow the simple steps below. Thank you, Bishop Warfel, for your dedication to ongoing catechesis for every Catholic in Eastern Montana!
