Make Sacrament Prep Active & Effective
Preparation to receive the sacraments represents one of the largest opportunities for evangelization, but sadly, most Catholics who attend sacrament prep programs stop coming to Mass.
- Currently, most sacrament prep programs rely almost exclusively on videos, which can be less effective because viewing a video is a passive activity that does not actively engage the participants.
- However, studies show that incorporating reading into formation increases understanding and retention because it is an active activity, allowing the reader to set the pace and personally process the concepts.
Ignatius Press Partners can select critical supplemental books to supercharge your sacrament preparation program. Not only can you choose from dozens of supplemental books for each sacrament, but soon there will be books and study guides for meaningful mystagogy.
