GENERAL INFORMATION
The Theology program is at the heart of the mission of a Catholic and Franciscan school. Theology courses are required for each of the eight semesters - two courses per year, five days a week.
CHRISTIAN LIFE (911)
Semester 1/2 Credit Grade 9
This course presents students with Christian theological foundations for healthy, mature, and respectful relationships with themselves, others, and God. Students are challenged to form a Christian identity and worldview, and to develop healthy communication techniques and prayer life. This course also presents the example of the life and spirituality of Sts. Francis and Clare of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, and other Franciscans, as well as the mission, history, and traditions of the school.
THEOLOGY CORE I: REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST IN SCRIPTURE (910)
Semester 1/2 Credit Grade 9
The purpose of this course is to give students a general knowledge and appreciation of the Sacred Scriptures. Through their study of the Bible, students will come to encounter the living Word of God, Jesus Christ. In the course they will learn about the Bible, authored by God through Inspiration, and its value to people throughout the world. Students will learn (or review) how to read the Bible and will become familiar with the major sections of the Bible and the books included in each section. The students will pay particular attention to the Gospels, where they may grow to know and love Jesus Christ more personally.

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the mystery of Jesus Christ, the living Word of God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity.

THEOLOGY CORE III: THE MISSION OF JESUS CHRIST (925)
Semester 1/2 Credit Grade 10
The purpose of this course is to help students understand all that God has done for us through His Son, Jesus Christ, especially through his Crucifixion. Through this course of study, students will learn that, for all eternity, God has planned for us to share eternal happiness with Him, which is accomplished through the redemption Christ won for us. Students will learn that they share in this redemption only in and through Jesus Christ. They will also be introduced to what it means to be a disciple of Christ and what life as a disciple entail.
