Sacramental Prep

Renewed & Received

Prepare Students to Encounter God's Mercy in Reconciliation and His Love in the Eucharist

We often hear from leaders that they struggle keeping students focused. They earnestly want to get the message of the Gospel through to these young hearts. At the same time, they want to share the Faith authentically and without watering it down.

With Renewed and Received, we channel children's innate curiosity and energy into a lifelong and lasting love for the Sacraments.

With powerful live-action videos that illustrate invisible spiritual realities in a powerful way, we work with children's imaginations to show them how real Faith is in their lives. Children stay moving throughout the class period and lesson plans feature activities for all learning styles.
