Summer with the Saints
Every summer, school ends, and vacation begins. We take trips and visit family and friends, which is a lot of fun! However, our faith formation often takes a backseat during this time. This year, you can have a summer that is both enjoyable and faith-filled. We invite you to experience a Summer with the Saints on Formed!
This summer, take the opportunity to learn about the saints celebrated by the Catholic Church during the summer season through our video content on Formed. From saints like Saint Benedict and Saint Ignatius of Loyola to Saint Kateri Tekakwitha and Saints Joachim and Anne, there is a saint for everyone to discover.
When you sign up, you'll receive:
- A video from Formed each week starting June 1, featuring that week's spotlighted saint.
- Children's content about the saints for every week of summer.
- Suggestions on how to help your children celebrate and learn about the lives of the saints each week.
This summer, by exploring the lives of the saints from the past, we will understand that God generously gives us the grace to become saints today.
