ALTARATION (Ascension Press) Open Your Heart —Take A Journey

Through a unique learning experience, including powerful cinematography and workbook resources, teens will come to see the Mass and the priesthood in a dramatically new way. Altaration is designed to stir thought, create conversation, dispel myths, and inspire young souls to a deep and lasting love for the Mass. The goal of Altaration is not to fill teens’ heads with information, but to pierce their hearts with transformation. This program features some of the top Catholic youth presenters in the Church today, including Mark Hart, Jackie Francois Angel, Fr. Mike Schmitz, Chris Stefanick and Fr. Josh Johnson.

While we all wish to have all our Confirmation students meet together this year, at least for the beginning of the year, we are doing our best to bring students together in Zoom Classes of ten students. Students will receive on-line access to this program and the accompanying student workbook. In addition to the Altaration Program all Faith Formation families will be provided materials and opportunities for family prayer and service activities.

For greater continuity of the program Confirmation I and Confirmation II will have Zoom Classes scheduled in blocks of consecutive weeks. Following registration parents will be contacted to choose a Zoom Class for their student.  Zoom Classes are held on a parish-based Zoom account that are led by two St Timothy faith formation leaders who have completed a State of Massachusetts CORI form and participated in the Archdiocese of Boston Protecting God’s Children Program. Invites for each Zoom Class will be emailed only to the student’s parents. Parents are most welcome to join their student in the Zoom Class.

We have requested a Confirmation date in early May which has not yet been confirmed by the Archdiocese. We will keep families informed as soon as we have further information.
