COURSE TITLE FRESHMEN RELIGION

Introduction to Catholicism is a comprehensive introduction to the Catholic faith.  The course explains what it means to be Catholic.  The course relies heavily on sources such as Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the lives of the saints, the Fathers of the Church, and the teachings of Vatican II as witnessed by the pontificate of John Paul II.  The course is divided into two self-standing semesters. 

A Call to Holiness – first semester:  In this semester, students are introduced to the call to be holy in response to "You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Mt 5:48.  In order to embrace this calling, the students gain a deeper knowledge of the meaning of sainthood, prayer, the Holy Trinity, the Church as the Body of Christ, and how God reveals Himself through Scripture and Tradition. 

Sacraments and Commandments – second semester:  This course provides the students with a deeper meaning and appreciation for the graces received in the seven Sacraments and leading a virtuous life.  The origin, history, and meaning of each Sacrament are discussed as well as how the Ten Commandments and Beatitudes are a means to holiness and salvation.

COURSE TITLE SOPHOMORE RELIGION
