Dear believer, dear family, dear team. Every week we will offer you a new formation package built around a video because we are convinced that balanced formation is the key to a balanced and joyful lifestyle, both for the family and the parish. This will bear the fruit so much needed in the life of the parish and the Church and the whole world. Below steps can help you to reach this beautiful goal.

Read the Gospel of the Day

Make the sign of the Cross. After a short opening prayer, turn to the Gospel reading of the day and give everyone the opportunity to share their thoughts on this reading. Click here for the Gospel reading of the day.

Pray 2 decades for your intentions

Let us pray for guidance for the Church, for families, for the faithful and for vocations, in every different form.

Contemplate a few questions regarding your spiritual life

Most Holy Family, please give us the grace to love God to such a degree that we are ready to lose everything rather than offend Him through venial sins.

Most Holy Family help us to show our love for God by the way we speak, think, and act.

Do I understand that fulfilling my daily duties with joyful fidelity is the best way of showing my love for God?

Do I realize that part of my daily duty is to reach outside my family to evangelize others?

Do I transform my daily crosses into moments of growth in grace by accepting them joyfully?

Watch the formation video

Please scroll to the top of this page for the video, which lasts 10 to 15 minutes. Please note you can watch this video full screen. Make sure your largest computer screen is placed where all can see.

Discuss how to better serve your local parish

We live out our faith in a community. Therefore we should humbly help to build up and strengthen our parish community.

Conclude with coffee and cake

No further instructions necessary here :-)

Please offer some feedback

Please leave a comment and let us know how you experienced this formation session. This will also help to build up the community. If you wish to start up your own team or if you have already done so, we would be grateful if you would send us an e-mail to inform us. Thank you!
