I just noticed this part, but you can also opt to pay monthly rather than annually. It saves money to pay annually, but then you’re paying a lot more all at once.
Let’s say you want to do the program “Symbalon” with the whole parish. Imagine you have 500 households and you have both English and Spanish speakers.
You will pay $300 for each set (English and Spanish) so that is $600.
The sets include one leader guide and one participant guide.
The participant guides are going to cost you $25 apiece (they do run sales where they go down to around $22 bucks each).
That is only one program.
Now add all of the other programs on FORMED, the fact that you have downloadable guides (so all they cost is paper and toner) not to mention the books, ebooks, movies, etc.
It is pretty easy to see how FORMED pays for itself in a year.
