Forma is an annual gathering of forward-thinking individuals, industry leaders, and dedicated professionals in faith formation. And for the second year, the dioceses in Province III joined together to participate in a radically hybrid 2025 Forma Conference. This innovative approach was designed to provide accessible, top-notch professional development, without losing the important connections that make being in community special.
From January 27-30, 36 formation leaders from Province III spent mornings together in retreat with a focus on prayer. We were led by experienced practitioners in using yoga, music, and nature to supplement our own regular practices of prayer. Afternoons were spent in smaller groups attending online Forma seminars, with other leaders from around the U.S. Topics ranged from presentations on new Godly Play sessions to how to start a Book Group. Evenings were spent in fellowship, with good conversation, games, and food.
