In the life of a young Catholic, both First Reconciliation and First Communion are formative rites of passage. There’s never been anything in the world like BLESSED for Catholic children. Animation by an Emmy Award winning studio. Books that are works of art. Catechist-friendly leader guides. BLESSED isn't just different, it's groundbreaking. The design for the program would need to be as well.
For each sacrament—First Reconciliation and First Communion—we created a student workbook, leader guide, and animation program released on DVD. A challenging aspect of the project was to connect the illustration style in the books and the three-dimensional animation style and create a cohesive brand and program. BLESSED is also available in both English and Spanish.
