Many of those working in Catholic parishes and schools have found the growing library of Fr. Mike Schmitz’s videos on Ascension Presents to be an effective resource. As classroom supplements, these lesson plans based on Fr. Mike’s popular videos can make topics come even more alive for students. They are also great resources for parish ministry; they work as small-group prompts for campus ministry sessions, for confirmation candidates and their parents, for youth group nights, and many others.
