With the feast of the Baptism of Our Lord behind us, Christmas season has officially ended in the Roman Calendar. Though some will continue observing it until Candlemas, most of the Church has moved into Ordinary time. The excitement of the holiday season has calmed down, and we can look toward the year ahead. So, what’s next for TOBET?

An Exciting New Program:

In case you missed it, we recently launched a fantastic new program called Bridges and Boundaries. It’s a PreK-12th grade video-based program that teaches faith formation alongside Safe Environment protocol. Most Catholics don’t know that safe environment is mandated for all children and youth in Catholic parishes and schools. So, TOBET figured TOB and Safe Environment made even more sense than peanut butter and jelly, so we made the obvious choice and put them together. Both the Diocese of Tulsa and the Diocese of Marquette in Michigan have already begun to implement this program into their ministry, because they understand that the teachings of TOB can not only help keep our children safe, but such Christian anthropology is just what they need as a foundation.

Our Commitment:

This new program enhances TOBET’s mission: to provide you with the tools to teach the life-affirming truth of Pope Saint John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. We believe knowing the body matters answers everybody’s search for meaning, and we want to give you the tools to properly understand that truth. Join us in evangelizing the world!
