It is our hope that this eighth grade year will serve as a “Nuts and Bolts” Catholicism course, meaning that the students will not only learn basic facts about their faith, but that they will continue to learn how to incorporate that knowledge into their everyday life and everyday situations. We will utilize various current event publications and online resources in addition to our textbook, “The Church Then and Now”, the Bible, and Catechism of the Catholic Church. We will utilize a variety of guest speakers, write letters to those who rarely get them, organize service projects, incorporate retreats, and include apologetics so that these students can also defend their faith when given the opportunity to evangelize.
Major assignment reminders will be sent to families via e-mail. Students will be expected to keep these assignments in their assignment books.
