"Go make disciples of all nations and teach them to observe the commandments I have given you. And know that I am with you always even to the end of time." (Matthew 28:19-20)
Responding to the mandate of Christ, the Religious Studies Department empowers each student to grow spiritually through instruction which is rooted in Gospel values. We enable the student to reach out in Christian service as a participant in the building of Christ's kingdom.
The religious studies curriculum links religious education and faith formation. Education in the faith is a process touching the heart as well as the mind.
Religious education involves faith and contemporary life, knowledge and practice, truth and values. The Christian message comes alive in our profession of faith and proclaiming of Christ. We worship by meaningful participation in liturgy, sacraments, prayer, contemplation and celebration. In community, we receive the message, worship and support others through Christian service.
