Supplies For Religion classes 2020/2021 academic year: Students will need a notebook, folder, pen or pencil and eraser, colored pencils or crayons and per school policy two masks that fit.

I’m trying to keep things basic as this will be an unusual year with the pandemic and additional safety protocols. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions. God bless you and grant you his peace! + Deacon Don


Course Overview

In 8th grade Religion the focus is on Church History. We will continue to build on what was learned in grades 6 and 7 by exploring the founding of the Church by Jesus Christ and how he passed on his mission to the Apostles. We will study how the Catholic Church developed in Apostolic times and continued to grow through the early and late middle ages and into the modern age. We will focus on major events such as the missionary and evangelization efforts of the Church, the great schism between eastern and western Christianity, the Protestant Reformation and the Church in the modern world.
