Religious Studies 9 - Be With Me
The Grade 9 program assists young people in understanding both the joy and the demands of following in the way of Christ and living out the faith that our community professes in the Creed. Using the Beatitudes as a touchstone, young people are invited to examine the attitudes and actions that characterize the Christian life. They are encouraged to understand and nurture within themselves the virtues which will enable them to deepen their relationship with God in and through Christ in the context of a spirit-filled community.
Religions Education 15 - Christ in Culture
One of the primary needs of young people is to experience a sense of belonging. In seeking to belong, it is important to explore the values of the community so that these values become convictions that are embraced and shared with others. This course is intended to help students:
• identify that belonging is a fundamental need
• recognize the importance of belonging as it relates to Church history
• realize that belonging to a community demands something of us: a respect for life, living a moral life, and service
