Highlight Reel

Connected is a series of five animated videos produced as a part of a Catholic Social Teaching curriculum developed by Ascension Press. 

Saints profiled include: St. Oscar Romero, Bl. Pierre Giorgio Frassati, Bl. Augustus Tolton, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and Sts. Louis & Zelie Martin.

Our team developed five animated vignettes of saints embedded as key components in the Connected curriculum. These windows into key moments or core philosophies of the saints are each tied to a component of Catholic Social Teaching, and are used within the curriculum to provide concrete examples of the faith lived in practice.

Connected won a silver and a bronze Telly for non-broadcast educational content.
