PSR for Grades 7 and 8 uses the program: Chosen: Your Journey Toward Confirmation by Ascension Press.  Chosen is an engaging, fun, and life changing experience that calls our young people to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ and offers a new approach to youth catechesis and sacramental preparation. Chosen is a two-year, Confirmation preparation program. Using video and small group discussion, Chosen offers a much different approach to the typical classroom model.
