8th Grade Religion

In eighth grade, you will be choosing and learning about your Confirmation saint as well as the other Sacraments and doctrine that makes us Catholic. To do this, we look at the New Testament. When we've finished that, we move on to 2000 years of Catholic Church history to discover how the Church has become the institution we know today.

We meet Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
