ADULT FAITH FORMATION
NEW PARISH RESOURCE:
FORMED NETWORK
Our parish has joined FORMED, an online
website that contains Catholic videos, and
downloadable audio or e-books. The site contains
series on Catholic Theology and Spirituality.
Over the course of next few years, we will be
utilizing these resources for group formation such
as Bible studies, catechist enrichment, prayer
groups, and small faith sharing groups.
The resources on FORMED can be used just by
individuals, or, used in group settings. Of note is
a weekly commentary on the Sunday readings
and a series on basic Catholic theology called
“Symbolon.”
The FORMED website is available to all
registered parishioners and everyone who live
within the parish boundaries, which is the
boundaries of Lakewood. To access the website,
you need to register first. You do that by:
1. Go to formed.org on your web browser
2. Click the button: ENTER CODE
3. Enter our parish code, all caps: YRP6YV
4. Enter your name, email, and a password. In
the future, the next time you enter the
FORMED site, all you will need is to enter
your email address and password. On most
web browsers, they have a feature that will
automatically enter your info when you log
on, if you care to use it to make logging on
easier in the future. Since this is not a high
target web site for hackers (we doubt anyone
would want to steal your FORMED access),
we suggest you keep your password simple
and different from your high-value websites,
such as your online banking. The site does
require that the password contain at least one
number and one special character (such as: ! $
#). Write your password down and keep it in a
handy place.
Once you’re in, explore the site’s resources!

W Ewangelii św. Marka słyszymy dziś wciąż aktualne wezwanie Jezusa: „Czas się wypełnił i bliskie jest
królestwo Boże. Nawracajcie się i wierzcie w Ewangelię”. Zaś w Dziejach Apostolskich (3,19 - druga mowa
Piotra) spotykamy podobny apel: „Pokutujcie więc i nawróćcie się, aby grzechy wasze zostały zgładzone”.
Wezwanie do nawrócenia uzupełnia wezwaniem do pokuty. Sens apelu pozostaje taki sam: potrzeba zmiany
mentalności, radości powrotu do Boga i wiary w Dobrą Nowinę.
