About Connected
Connected: Catholic Social Teaching for This Generation is a five-session program that leads teens to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Church’s teachings on how we should treat our world, each other, and ourselves. Often referred to as the Church’s “best kept secret,” teens will discover the peace and joy offered by Christ in Catholic social teaching to help heal a divided and suffering world.Details
Connected is another great resource for our teens, As I reviewed it, I realize that we must have it in our Confirmation Program. It is what our teens need in today's world that has so many voices calling in so many directions. They need to realize that the church is always at the lead in social justice, and all of us are called to make a difference.
Thank you.

Our religious education program is using several of the programs from Ascension for our classes. I recently started this program for our middle school students and it has been great. The videos are very well done and the content is very relevant for their age group. It’s been a wonderful addition to our program.
I bought this for my school’s religion teacher to preview (6-8grade). I have always been impressed with Ascension products. The teacher was also so impressed that she has immediately incorporated the program into our religion curriculum.
Our High School Youth Group has really liked the videos and content of "Connected" and we see the students taking action in their lives to be good stewards and to invite in other kids to our church. We now have 19 in the group!
The Catholic Social Teachings are a great way to pass on our Catholic Faith and help other people at the same time. Families are pleased with the contemporary format and our extension into social media in a positive way with our youth group Instagram account that focuses on service in the community, lives of the saints, photos from episodes of The Chosen, prayers and positive affirmations.
Thank you for this great program! I hope more schools and churches use it.
