Catholic Faith Formation Facebook Group

Like so many others, I get a lot of my news and information from social media these days. Navigating the terrain of social media requires no small amount of prudence, patience, and discernment in order to wade through the plethora of information and discover the various pearls of great value shared by reliable sources. One such “pearl” from a very reliable source (Loyola Press!) is the Catholic Faith Formation Facebook page that has been around for a number of years. So often, when I surf through Facebook, my eyes are caught by headlines offering valuable information related to sharing the Catholic faith. More often than not, it turns out to be from the Catholic Faith Formation page.

It’s important to know, then, that the Catholic Faith Formation Facebook page is completely transitioning to the new Catholic Faith Formation Facebook Group on September 1, 2019. You can join the Catholic Faith Formation Facebook group by clicking this link: https://bit.ly/2YjAlFw. As a part of this group, you can:

  • Discover the latest trends in Catholic faith formation.
  • Connect and join discussions led by fellow catechists and teachers.
  • Read stories shared by those involved in Catholic faith formation.
  • Share insights and stories with the Catholic faith formation community.

Please know that if you aren’t logged into Facebook automatically, you will be prompted to log in before being able to join the group. Don’t miss this great opportunity to connect with others who, like you, are seeking to grow as a catechist in order to help others encounter the Lord and deepen their faith.
