“Blessed” – Sacramental Preparation

There’s never been anything like Blessed in the Catholic world for children. World-class animation. Workbooks that are works of art. Catechist-friendly leader guides. And incredible content that meets children where they are and leads them, step by step, to where God is calling them to be. Blessed isn’t just different, it’s groundbreaking.
 

It is a high quality animated series that relates to children of this generation on their level. It’s a great way for parents and children to learn together at home!
