A Course on Jesus Christ and His Disciples
“Young Catholics need to rub shoulders with the culture of
Jesus and His times. Likewise, they need to know that in Scripture things
are not always what they appear to be. Scripture presents so much more,
and young people should never be afraid of the truth as presented in
Scripture. This course will help young people to appreciate the
contemporary Catholic understanding of Scripture and give them tools to
avoid fundamentalistic leanings that distort real Catholic doctrine and
Scripture itself.”
and
Liturgy
and Worship
A course on Prayer and Sacraments
“It is in the Church’s liturgy, especially the seven
sacraments, that Catholics celebrate all that God has done for us in
Christ Jesus through the working of the Holy Spirit. Our salvation was
made possible through the Paschal Mystery of Christ’s passion, death,
resurrection, and ascension. This mystery is made present to us in the
sacred actions of the Church’s liturgy. If young people are to be strong
and faithful followers of Christ, they must make the liturgical life of
the Church their own.”

May the good Lord continue to bless us with His care and

Church
History
A course on the People of God
“This part of the Religion course will put the students in
touch with the roots of their Church that took hold two thousand years
ago.
Beginning with the apostolic age and the age of
persecution, students will be introduced to the accomplishments of men and
women of faith throughout the centuries. The successes and difficulties
that the Church has faced, both within and without, will be studied, but
always with a view to help young Catholics of today face the challenges of
their own time.”
Morality
A course on Catholic Living
“Within the course the students look at the deeper
framework of moral decision making, we explore the Ten Commandments in
greater detail. Likewise, we concentrate on grospel formation (The
Beatitudes) and what is means to live a life of virtue. This course
enables young people to navigate through challenging times with a clear
and positive moral attitude that is essential for Catholics in the new
millennium.”
