Theology Classroom Presentations:

Generation Life provides interesting presentations that are highly effective in conveying the counter-cultural message of chastity to young people.

Students have sincere questions about their sexuality but many times are looking for answers in all the wrong places (MTV, magazines, sitcoms, misinformed peers).  In a single gender environment, we have found that students have opened up and asked questions, providing us the opportunity to satisfy their curiosities with the truth. Presentations can be completed in one 45-minute class period.

Multi-part Series: Different presentations for different classes. This allows students to gain a diverse set of information from Generation Life during their four years in high school. Please see details on our Multi-Part Series on the reverse side of this sheet.

 

School Assemblies:

School-wide or grade-wide assemblies enable us to reach many students in one-shot. The messages are delivered compassionately yet truthfully. Topics can include: theology of the body, pro-life issues, or chastity.

This option allows for many students to be spoken to in a shorter amount of time than if we spoke in their classrooms.

 

Retreats:

We are available to give presentations during retreats.  Some schools choose to have a chastity-themed retreat which can be done in a variety of ways.  Generation Life can provide the keynote presentation(s) followed by breakout sessions, such as a ‘Question & Answer’ period. We are happy to consider additional ideas you may have.

We find that retreats that include the Sacrament of Reconciliation provide the opportunity for a powerful spiritual experience to occur; our presentations may expose the nature of sexual sin and move students to seek God’s forgiveness for past mistakes. We certainly prefer retreats that have Mass scheduled at some point during the day.
