There are 30 short lessons in the Confirmation program.   They have a choice of reading, video or audio presentation.   There is a short quiz after each segment that they must complete once they've listened or watched.  They can do them in any increments during the summer.  They will need to remember what they are 'up to'.   The Catholic Brain will not take you back to where you left off at this time.    (ie: 1 at a time / 5 at a time or all!)   They must pass the quizzes AND log in enough time to give evidence that they watched the video or read the text.    This process needs to be complete BY Sept 15, 2021 so we have time to review in the classroom prior to Confirmation.  Here is the link to the Confirmation program on Catholicbrain- (YOU MUST HAVE A LOG IN FIRST)  Click Here
