FORMED Video of the Month for August – St. John Nepomucene
The FORMED Video of the Month is “Radiating Joy: The Michelle Duppong Story”. The Michelle Duppong story is the story of Servant of God Michelle Duppong, who bore witness to Christ through heroic suffering and a passion for inviting others to be transformed by His love.
In 2014, Michelle was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer while serving as the Director of Adult Faith Formation for the Diocese of Bismarck. Before that, Duppong had served as a FOCUS missionary for six years. She battled the disease with perseverance and a docile spirit until December 25, 2015, when she passed away at the age of 31. On November 1, 2022, Bishop David Kagan celebrated the Opening Mass for the Cause of Canonization.
We invite you to experience and learn more about “Radiating Joy: The Michelle Duppong Story”. To view the video, please click here!

FORMED Video of the Month for March – St. John Nepomucene
During Lent, many of us attempt to fast from chocolate, soda, and social media. But when Easter arrives, it can be easy to fall back into our old habits. The truth is, Lent is more than a list of sacrifices. It’s an invitation to journey through the desert with Jesus, where He can work on renewing our hearts and minds. This transformation invites us to experience Easter as a moment of true joy and new life in Christ!
How to Lent is a new series from the Augustine Institute that aims to equip Catholics with the tools to understand and practice the pillars of Lent: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Guided by Solenne Santiago and with the help of priests and religious, this series will challenge our preconceived notions about Lent, laying out a roadmap for entering the season with a purpose. Don’t let Lent sneak up on you like it did last year. Instead, heed the call of St. John the Baptist by preparing for the Lord, using How to Lent to transform your spiritual life this Lenten season.
We invite you to experience a more fruitful Lent, beginning with our new four-part short series, “How to Lent”. To view the video, please click here!
