Chosen: Your Journey Toward Confirmation

Product Description Chosen: Your Journey Toward Confirmation is a twenty-four-lesson program that provides everything you need to prepare your students both intellectually and spiritually to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation and to become lifelong disciples of Christ. All too often we see teens drift away from the Church after Confirmation. Chosen seeks to reverse this trend by winning over the hearts of teens at a critical time in their lives and keeping them firmly planted within the faith community of the Church. Chosen s carefully designed methodology features highly effective and engaging material conveyed through videos, student workbooks, and classroom experience. Guides for leaders, parents, and sponsors as well as additional online resources make Chosen unlike any program available in the Church today. Chosen has been produced in two formats, this Confirmation edition (Chosen: Your Journey Toward Confirmation) and a Teen Faith Formation edition (Chosen: This Is Your Catholic Faith). Both use the same twenty four lessons and only differ in how Confirmation preparation is emphasized and highlighted in the Confirmation edition. Review Teens who experience Chosen will find themselves drawn deeply into the beauty of Catholicism and the love of Jesus Christ. In a world searching for meaning, Chosen speaks to the hearts and minds of our youth through comprehensive materials and engaging videos taught by an impressive array of presenters. This is a new level of catechesis that uses modern methods to transmit eternal truths. I'm grateful to Chris Stefanick, Ron Bolster, and the entire team at Ascension Press for creating this program. --Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia Chosen speaks to youth in their language, from their culture, and with the enduring love of Jesus Christ. Chosen is a thoroughly Catholic confirmation program from the heart of the New Evangelization. Chris Stefanick and his collaborators have combined experience, wisdom, and the best tools of contemporary media to develop a compelling and comprehensive catechesis that strives to form lifelong disciples for Jesus Christ. --Most Reverend James D. Conley, Bishop of Lincoln The Chosen: Your Journey Toward Confirmation is an excellent program that will assist in the formation of Confirmation candidates, sponsors, and parents. This comprehensive study will undoubtedly strengthen Confirmation preparation through its commitment to strong catechesis and handing on the Gospel message of salvation. It is apparent that the Chosen presenters have a strong desire for holiness and virtue, and their examples will have a profound impact on all who participate in the program. I, unreservedly, recommend the Chosen program to all the faithful preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. It is my hope that the parishes and schools in the Diocese of Sioux City will take advantage of this valuable study of catechesis and evangelization --Most Reverend Walker Nickless, Bishop of Sioux City
