What they are people are saying about Make Jesus Real:
“I am impressed with the wide influence of Make Jesus Real in Tasmanian Catholic Schools and the high regard with which it is held by students and teachers alike. I commend Make Jesus Real to any diocese seeking a faith-focused values education program.”
John Mula
Director, Tasmanian Catholic Education Office
“One of the great challenges that confront every religious educator is linking the 'head to the heart'. Our Catholic faith tradition only becomes real to our young people when, as Pope Francis reminds us, they get their hands 'dirty' and they live their faith in the reality of daily life. Having witnessed 'first hand' the impact of 'Making Jesus Real' (MJR) on the faith journey of thousands of children across Tasmania and subsequently, other dioceses in Australia, I am convinced that our formal Religious Education programs need to be complemented by a vibrant, practical 'hands on' program that helps young people discover the 'God Moments' in their daily lives”.
Dan White
Executive Director, Catholic Education Office, Sydney
"'Make Jesus Real' is our homespun values education resource used in every Tasmanian Catholic primary school with senior primary students. Created by our very own Mitch (Peter Mitchell) we are amazed that it is now well known all over Australia. Linking faith and spirituality with resilience and leadership Make Jesus Real is a one-of-a-kind. Make Jesus Real is all about inviting children to be alert for and reflect upon the God Moments. They report that they become attuned to the signs of the Spirit of Jesus every day and the resurrection alive in one another, in the classroom, the schoolyard and at home".

A recent endorsement from a student:
"To be honest when first heard about Make Jesus Real I groaned and moaned. After the first lesson I could relate to Make Jesus Real and its message. I have changed so much I don't recognise myself!"
