Testimonies

The National Coalition for Church Vocations in Chicago is now promoting the game. They say this: “Mission Ascent is well done. The variety of saints noted, the mission of each, and the scripture and situational cards that creatively encourage exploration of important elements of life choice. It would appeal with the middle school child to adults. Not only is it a resource for schools but also is excellent for families and intergenerational settings.”

Our diocesan director says this: “Mission Ascent is a great board game to help youngsters, Junior High and older, to become familiar with some of the Saints. I highly recommend it and the parishes that have purchased it tell me how much their students are learning from active involvement in the game.” Barbara A. Smith, Diocesan Director, Office of Catechetics and Initiation, Diocese of Portland, Maine.

Student: Michael from Lewiston, Maine “This game is fun and it helps us to get closer to God, not many games do that.”

Student: Christina from Augusta, Maine “I like how I got to learn more about the Saints and faith.”

Student: Lizzie from Bath, Maine “It was fairly easy and fun, a good way to learn about the Saints, and also because you win prizes!”

Student: Grace from West Paris, Maine  “If I saw this game in the store, I would mention it to my Mom and hopefully it would show up at our house.”

Parent: Pauline Taylor from Lewiston, Maine “Mission Ascent is an experience that all families should share. Don’t miss this adventure!

DRE from CT: We are thinking of having a Family Game Night at the parish to help families come together and share faith. This will be excellent!
