STUDENTS

“The examples that they use in the videos are really relatable and you can understand them, it’s not just people lecturing you.”

Cassie, age 13 

“It wasn’t just a lot of facts and people just talking. Chosen is fun and enjoyable to watch.

Kendall, age 13

“Before I started Confirmation, my friends and I didn’t really know what we were doing or what the point was. And then after we did Chosen … now we’re all on fire. I actually understand my relationship with Jesus.”

Connor, age 15

LEADERS

“All I can say is 'Bravo!' Chosen is absolutely awesome! The way the program moves from the workbook to the video segments to discussions, etc. is perfect. It keeps this age group moving and engaged.”

Teresa Henderson, Confirmation Catechist, St. Agnes Parish, Mena, AR 

“Overall, Chosen is great for both the youth ministers and the teens. We like it because we don’t have to prepare a whole talk along with a schedule and everything else. The teens like it because the videos are fun and it isn’t just the youth ministers talking the entire time.”

Jasmine Pujol, Youth Minister, St. Cecelia Church, Clearwater, FL

Our catechists rave about bringing experts into the classroom through the videos so that their role is to focus on the candidates.”

Christine Pershey, Director of Faith Formation, Cathedral of St. Raymond Nonnatus, Joliet, IL 

“This is just what I have been looking for over the course of many years to get the students out of the text books and into the 21st century!”

JNancy Doran, Director of Religious Education, St. Francis of Assisi, West Nyack, NY
