Click hear to learn about liturgical and event changes due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) concerns

COVID challenged us to think about Faith Formation in a different way.  There were things we want to bring into the 2021/22 program year and other things we were happy to say goodbye to.  We will be keeping the amazing Alludo platform to give students an incredibly engaging experience of online learning.  Ascent Faith Formation gives children the power build on the weekly in-person lessons and then to explore topics that are interesting to them.  Plus they can partake in some friendly competition. Our goal is to make learning about the faith exciting, fun and game-like.

GAMIFIED LEARNING

Students  gain access to the Ascent Faith Formation program via the Alludo app. When they log in to Alludo they will see TONS of optional 5-10 minute activities, videos and mini-lessons to choose from. Children can decide which topics they want to explore and earn points for everything they complete.  POINTS ARE AWESOME! The children with the most points each week will earn a spot on the Top 10 Leaderboard! This kind of friendly competition makes learning feel like a game. 

                                                                
DIGITAL BADGES

As children complete mini-lessons and activities they rack up points. If they earn enough points in a category they will receive virtual badges!  They will definitely want to collect as many badges as possible!

Is Faith Formation in-person? 
We are planning to be back in the classrooms in September.  We will continue to use Alludo for online supplemental activities.  Classes are offered on...

How will we use Alludo?  
Alludo is all about giving students the chance to explore topics that are interesting to them.  Activities on Alludo will be voluntary for the children.  Those who play can receive points and redeem them for small prizes when they come for classes.  Alludo is designed for any device, so they can log in on their computer, smart phone or tablet, wherever they are!
