With the season of Advent upon us it’s a good time to take a look at the new streaming media subscription to FORMED On Demand. The Augustine Institute partnering with Ignatius Press launched FORMED as an online service designed to help users explore the Catholic faith.  FORMED provides access to Catholic movies, audio talks, e-books, and video-based studies from the Augustine Institute, Ignatius Press, Catholic Answers and more.

FORMED was designed with Catholic parishes in mind as a way for parishioners to learn and grow in their faith. Much of the content is available in English and Spanish. Students, faculty and staff will need to register on the platform to access the material.

FORMED on Demand may be accessed from the A-Z list of databases and from the Theology/Religious Studies and Streaming Media databases by subject.
