I was raised in the church and have worshipped in Presbyterian churches my entire adult life (which as a 77 year old is a long time). This year I have felt called to the Catholic Church and have been attending Mass. I needed answers to so many questions as considered going from Inquiry to OCIA. Foundations of Faith did so much more than simply answering my questions. It encourage, inspired and fed my spirit. The lessons and explanations were clear and compelling. I wanted to dig deeper and learn more. The reverence and thought put into every aspect of the program reflected God's glory and a fervent desire to bring the Church's message of God's redeeming love to all. Thank you!

I just finished "Foundations of Faith" I love every session. I have learned so much about my faith. I am so happy to have studied this program and will go through it again as there is so much to absorb.
Beautiful visuals, I almost feel like I am there. Catechism main points explained in easily understandable language. Highly recommend!
This program is excellent! The videos are fabulous and support the workbook. We like the videos even better at times....makes it much more relevant and spiritual. Feels like we are there. Highly recommend it.
Going through this study helped me understand the traditions and teachings of the Catholic Church. It brought me closer to God and helped me understand what he truly wants from us as his beloved children. The videos are beautifully made to deepen the conversation through each session.
The videos were super interesting and inspiring. They explained deep theological ideas clearly, gave cool material on church history, the saints, and more. They were also filled with personal testimonies and application, so the viewer can take what they learn into their life :)
Thank you very much, course was very beneficial and I enjoyed it very much.
What an amazing gift this was to go through this 20-session course. My wife and I went through this course in a small group from Divine Mercy, Faribault, MN. It's astounding on how much we all learned and how much this will affect our daily lives. Thank you to the entire Ascension team for all you do.
This course gives a great overview of the Catechsism. The teachers explain difficult concepts in an easier to understand way. It was great having so many different teachers and filming locations in the course. Highly recommended.
Very engaging from beginning to end. My faith was deepened with this course.
thorughly enjoyed going through this stdy. I loved visiting all the holy places and hearing of the great saints of the Church
This is well done. I learned a lot. Thank you for the great work for God. You all help a lot of people. God Bless You!
I had listened to Fr Mike Schmitz Catechism in a Year podcast and learned so much. This made me really excited to do this bible study with our group. Again I learned so much and now can look to the catechism as well as scriptures when I have questions. The less than 5 stars is because often we were directed to read only the "in brief"sections of the catechism. We skipped the thought provoking meat of many sections. As in intro this is great but don't be afraid to challenge your readers to do more
Very good walk through the Catechism. I watched some of the videos with my Jr High students. They enjoyed the videos very much.
Amazing class!! The information was presented in an understandable way that made reading the Catechism very interesting. I was able to apply the information to my own life as well as while teaching CCD classes. Great class!!
I'm a aconvert from the late 60s, right after Vatican II, and the Church had not quite figured out what to do with it yet. So my catechesis was pretty shallow and brief. Then I got busy with children and family for another 20 years. It wasn't until about 20 years ago that I started to attend Bible Studies. This study has been the culmination of all of those! I have learned sooooooo much. It is beautiful visually, verbally, and spiritually. I. wish ALL Catholics would take this--no one would ever leave such a Church if they truly understood all that the Catechism teaches.
We are only on lesson 4 with our church group, but we are totally loving the beauty of this study. The videos are outstanding. My table has all cradle Catholics. We are learning things we did not know or never realized. Working on the creed re-enforces our faith. We all felt the great love of God. We are looking forward to more as we continue this new series.
I’m a Catholic from birth and all schooling has been Catholic. I am 80 plus and learning more from the study now. Praise God I now know why I do what I just did. 🙏🏻
Over 50 of us in a women's bible study are watching this each week. The catechism is so well explained and made so personal to each of us. It is beautifully done in both the explanation of our faith , the presenters are wonderful and the visuals are stunning.
I've been using the old Symbolon for years. I like it but I've seen it so many times I could probably quote it. Glad to have a new quality resource to use that's not only new to my participants but also new to me!
My friend bought the DVD set and a group of 9 of us have been watching the series on a weekly basis. We all love it! We are learning and traveling through amazing places through this series! Thank you Ascension Press!
I have really enjoyed the Foundations of Faith. As part of the Christian Initiation group at my parish, the presentation and completeness of this program is vastly superior to what we had developed ourselves and it addresses many of the questions that came from some of our inquirers with a response that was very comprehensive and understandable to those seeking to learn about or become Catholic.
I have only completed the first three sessions, but already I have found this study to be very informative and spiritually uplifting. I help in the OCIA program at my parish and can’t wait to share this with the other leaders. The presenters in the videos have such a great way of explaining the teachings of the church and making it personal in my life that will be very helpful when teaching OCIA. Thank you for this wonderful series!
This is like a scam, they keep adding things that you don't want, and then are impossible to remove from cart. I used to love Ascension but it has become worse than the sales pitches on HSN
