“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Matthew 18:20

Well-formed disciples make the Catholic faith compelling and relevant. That’s why supporting Parishes and parish leaders is central to the mission of the Augustine Institute.

To do that, we create programs that help your parishioners understand, live, and share their faith. From our Lectio bible study series, to Sacramental Preparation and Faith Formation materials we have the content to guide you parishioners and staff on their faith journey. We work with over 60 Catholic apostolates and ministries to provide content through the FORMED platform and our next generation kiosk, placing the full spectrum of Catholic content (both digital and physical) at your fingertips.

FORMED.org With over 4,000 Catholic videos, Ebooks, talks, and study programs, FORMED is the premier digital evangelization platform for your parish. More About Formed

Bible Studies Discover the relevant truth of Scripture and the tradition of the Catholic Church with Lectio, a video-based study featuring trusted presenters, like Dr. Tim Gray and Dr. Brant Pitre. Lectio: Salvation At every Sunday Mass, Catholics confess that Jesus came down from heaven “for us men and for our salvation.” But what does “salvation” mean? Learn More

Learn More Lectio: Mary Why is Mary so important to Catholics, and why have so many people been devoted to her over the centuries? What can we learn about her from Sacred Scripture? Learn More

Learn More Lectio: Mark Is the Gospel of Mark only a “condensed” version of the life of Christ? What does it have to offer us that the Gospels of Matthew, Luke, and John do not? Learn More

Learn More Lectio: Peter The character of St. Peter is both inspiring and confounding to many of us. How could a stubborn and impulsive fisherman become the "rock" upon which Jesus would build his Church? Learn More

Learn More Lectio: Prayer Though prayer is one of the essentials of a thriving faith, we often feel as if we’re talking to ourselves—or, worse, as if we’re talking to no one at all. How can something so vital to the Faith be so elusive? Learn More

Learn More Lectio: Eucharist "The Lamb of God," "The Bread of Life," "The Body and the Blood of Christ"... these are phrases we know from the Mass. But do we understand what they mean in the greater and deeper context of Scripture and Church teaching? Learn More

Learn More Lectio: Philippians Towards the end of his life, under arrest and awaiting trial in Rome, Saint Paul writes a short but powerful letter to the Philippians. With his words and the example of his life, Paul exhorts the Philippians to have the mind of Christ, to live a life worthy of the Gospel, and, by God’s grace, to gain Christ. Learn More

Learn More Lectio: Evangelization Who better to look to for guidance on evangelization than the Apostles and disciples of the early Church? Learn More

Beloved What if Marriage is more than a simple contract between two people, based on romance, mutual fulfillment and basic attraction? Learn More

Faith Formation This series of programs help parishioners go deeper in the understanding of the faith. Divine Mercy Renowned speaker and author Fr. Michael Gaitley tells the dramatic history of God’s love and mercy as interwoven through the transformative message of St. Faustina, the miraculous appearance of Mary at Fatima, the witness of Maximilian Kolbe, and the world-changing papacy of Pope St. John Paul II. Learn more

Learn more Symbolon Too often we try to live a faith we don't know or understand. Some of us stumble along with it, going through the motions. Others simply walk away. Learn More

Learn More Who Am I To Judge? What is “right” and “wrong”? Is what’s right for you right for me? Is there a right and wrong for everyone, all the time? These are difficult questions to discuss in our culture. Learn More

Learn More True Reformers The saints of the Catholic Reformation show us just how powerful—and beautiful—is the human heart’s free response to God’s generous grace. Learn More
