Based on the liturgical year, this series uses children's love of video games to reinforce Gospel and Catholic teachings. It provides three skill levels for grades K-8, and allows for the customization of messages to children and families in your parish. Each month a video unlocks a new story to engage children in Gospel learning.
During the Easter Season, use The Resurrection of Jesus.
