ADULTS
"I've been looking for movies about saints, to gain inspiration from real people on how to live a more thoughtful life, and found the film "Ignatius of Loyola" on FORMED. It's a good one, explaining how his experience of war affected his conversion; what led to his name-changed in college; how he came to found the Society of Jesus (Jesuits); and why his “spiritual exercises” developed in the 1500's are still used during retreats and quiet meditation today. The battle scenes are a bit graphic, but then, so is war. Well worth the watch." St. Ann FORMED watcher LW

Children/grandchildren away from the Church? Check this out on FORMED.org!
"If you're looking for support to deal with your children or grandchildren who are disengaged from the Church, I recommend the feature film "Restless Heart" on FORMED.org. It tells the amazing story of St. Monica and her wayward son, who became St. Augustine. It doesn't matter the century; we can have the same issues and she gives me strength, wisdom and hope."

Chris Stefanick Show on FORMED
“I talk about joy a lot. But I know there’s one place where it’s really hard to keep up your joy sometimes: at work. If you feel like you have to find your true joy outside of work, you’re not alone. People go to work every day, but their jobs stress them out and leave them exhausted. So this week...watch.formed.org”

"Life of St. Patrick" audio drama. "I am finding FORMED a great partner when working out! I listened to the 2+ hour radio drama about the Life of Saint Patrick. It was awesome! " Cindy Waldeck
TEENS
"The Search" video series. "Once a week, my teenage daughter and I are watching an episode of "The Search," and talking about it over dinner. So well done, and relatable!" A St. Ann Dad
CHILDREN
"Ryan Defrates, Secret Agent" cartoon series. "We watched some of the kid shows as a family this weekend. My boys were skeptical that they would enjoy it... but they really (did)! The cartoons were funny and engaging. I enjoyed how the creators of Ryan Defrates came on at the end of the episodes and talked about some learning points and connected it to Jesus. We still have a lot more to explore but so far this has been a great gift..." Pam Clarke
