PLEASE NOTE: In an effort to be responsive to your needs, the Faith Formation Team at the Archdiocesan Pastoral Center has been providing this e-Newsletter that directs you to resources and online events specifically related to faith formation during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have noticed that the number of new COVID-19 faith formation resources has declined. While we will still be updating the Guidance Document, which can be found in the Google Shared Drive --> FFL Catechesis & Evangelization --> COVID-19 Faith Formation Guidance, only one more edition of the COVID-19 e-Newsletter will be sent (on September 22, 2020). We hope that this resource has been helpful to you during this time, and we will continue evaluating ways to serve you.
