Catholic Faith on Demand
It is with great excitement that the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings announces a partnership with FORMED. This partnership affords every Diocese of Great Falls-Billings parish, Catholic school, and Catholic household access to the platform 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.
A subscription to FORMED, created and powered by the Augustine Institute, includes 24/7 access to FORMED for all people within the parish boundaries. Material available through FORMED includes in part:

Respect in church includes striving to develop and maintain a prayerful atmosphere, and being ever mindful of how we may be disturbing others. Respect in church also includes not chewing gum, nor wearing boots loaded with mud, or walking in and out of church during the service, unless for an emergency. If one arrives late one waits until a break in the service (for example, after a reading) before seating oneself. If illness requires one to excuse oneself from the assembly, that is another matter, and is fitting by way of real need. Cell phones should be turned off or placed in vibration mode before services begin.
