​Volume II is being released in sets of two Pivotal Players each year. The study guide is written for these two Players and the program can be hosted in five sessions.

The video-based study program can be experienced individually or in a group. Each Study Guide lesson provides details about the Pivotal Player’s life and contributions to the culture. In addition, you'll find “Questions for Understanding" that support the teaching in the video and reference Scripture verses and sections from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You'll also find several “Questions for Application" in each lesson to help you connect the material to your own life and experience.

For group study, you'll find a foundational plan to present the Volume I program in 13 sessions, each 90 minutes long or the intensive plan to present the Volume I program in 7 sessions, each 2 ½ hours long. For each set of Volume II Players, you can present the study in 5 sessions, each 90 minutes long. The first session covers a general orientation, followed by two sessions on each Pivotal Player. Each session includes video viewing (25-30 minutes) and small group discussion of the Study Guide questions (60 minutes).

The Leader’s Kit provides everything you need to host the Pivotal Players Study Program. We recommend that each parish or group purchase one Leader’s Kit to get started and then a separate Leader’s Guide for each small group facilitator. In addition, each participant in the group needs their own Study Guide, which can be purchased in bulk with a volume discount before your program begins.
