Theology

The Theology courses embrace Jesus' command to teach "all that I have commanded" and seek to engage students in the authentic life, teaching, and tradition of the Catholic faith. Each course develops an understanding and appreciation of the richness of Catholic teaching while preparing students to live in society today in a rigorous academic environment. Students are encouraged to contemplate on the traditions of the Catholic Church in relation to other Christian traditions as they grow in their own faith as teenagers and young adults. They will examine theology through the study of the Creeds, sacraments, Scripture, prayer, morality, social justice, the Church, the nature of the human person, and other religious traditions all with a focus on the meaning of the life, passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
