THEOLOGY III
HONORS (031) TRACK 2 (032) GRADE: 11
Catholic Morality
This course is intended to present morality as a personal response to almighty God. It explores conscience, laws, and decision-making skills based on the Commandments, corporal and spiritual works of mercy, and the beatitudes, in order to serve as a guide for the formation of Catholic morality. Its purpose is to instill in the student confidence in his ability to make correct moral Catholic choices. Required is 20 hours of Christian Community Service.
THEOLOGY IV
Grade 12 TRACK 1, 2 (041,042)
Church and Vocation
The course outline presents a development of the Church through its 2000-year history focusing on the people of God who make up the Church. It, then, challenges the student to take an active role in the Church community through the living out of a personal vocation of service to God and the Church. This course was purposely developed as a challenge for the teacher and students through the study of these people to recognize the contemporary personalities and issues of importance in Church life today. A personal vocation in the church as single, lay, religious or cleric only makes sense in the context of the long tradition we share. Active participation by the students in the Church is to be the end result of this yearlong course.
Required is 20 hours of Christian Community Service.
