Read This if You Want to Keep Confirmation Students Engaged AND
Reduce Time Lesson Planning
Today we want to introduce you to our award-winning Confirmation program.
It’s called Chosen: Your Journey to Confirmation and features 24 lessons of content. These lessons can be used in both one-year or two-year programs (we have schedules for both!)
We’ve heard from many DREs, catechists, and Confirmation coordinators how difficult it is to keep students engaged. They often face blank stares, wrangle cell phones, and struggle to compete with the increasingly short attention span of today’s teenagers.
The new videos feature quicker cuts for the TikTok generation, engaging speakers, and state-of-the-art video quality to keep teens’ attention.
(Plus all of the content is on the USCCB Conformity List)
To further engage students, we’ve compiled workbook content that includes compelling anecdotes, a glossary of terms, and a challenge of the week to help them take what they’ve learned beyond the classroom. Each lesson also features a Saint story to help students see what it looks like to live out the Faith in their day-to-day lives.
Teens can ask some really hard questions.
Each lesson also features a “Tough Questions” section that answers teens’ most challenging questions about the Faith, like
“Why do I confess my sins to a priest?"
“Why do I have to go to Mass?”
“Why do Catholics pray to Mary?”
"How does God want me to live?"
And more!
Is Chosen available in Spanish?
YES!
Chosen is available in a bi-lingual, side-by-side format so you can bring this program to all of your students.
We have also translated the videos with a voice-over! The bi-lingual edition of Chosen also includes a leader's guide, parent's guide, sponsor's guide, and director's manual.
We know that lesson planning can be incredibly time-consuming, especially creating engaging and impactful lessons and activities that will get to the heart of your students.
Many teachers and catechists simply want to invest in their students and share the Gospel, but they often get bogged down by all the administrative tasks involved.
With Chosen, all of that work is done for you.
The Chosen Leader’s guide offers a wrap-around format and walks leaders through each lesson step-by-step.
The Leader’s Guide provides lesson outlines that accommodate 60, 90, or 120 minute sessions to help you get the most out of your time with your students.
Truly, you will never be stressed about filling class time with content ever again.
Your leaders will know exactly what to do and feel confident in their ability to catechize teenagers at such an important juncture in their life.

GODSEND
Having been involved in the confirmation program in our parish for many years, I can say that Chosen is the best purchase we ever made! I see so much growth in our students over the course of the 24 lessons.

PERFECT FOR CONFIRMATION
Ascension has done a great job with Chosen. The videos are top notch and really grab the attention of teenagers, which is hard to do! They break down each lesson into prayers, videos, discussion points, quizzes, a saint, and a quiz. The modern approach and even the look of the workbooks make the series easy to navigate. I'm only three lessons in with my confirmation candidates, but I am sure it was the right choice to get through to today's kids.
