Revelation & Sacred Scripture (1st Semester)
Encountering Christ (2nd Semester)
The course offers an academic survey of Divine Revelation and Sacred Scripture, rooted in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Dei Verbum. Students will be introduced to the mystery of Jesus Christ, the living Word of God, understanding Him as the ultimate Revelation from God and discovering their own identity in relation to Him. Key topics include faith and reason, inspiration, inerrancy, exegesis, covenants, law, Trinity, canon, and contextual reading. Special emphasis will be placed on Christology, tracing the nature and person of Jesus through the Synoptic Gospels, the Gospel of John, and the early Church Fathers. Students will explore themes such as Jesus' identity, authority, words and deeds, the Paschal Mystery, and the journey toward mature discipleship.

The Paschal Mystery (1st Semester)
The Church is Christ’s Living Body (2nd Semester)
This course aims to help students understand God's plan for our eternal happiness through His Son, Jesus Christ. Students will recognize that redemption is only possible through Christ and will explore what it means to be a disciple of Him. The course begins with a review of Creation, our First Parents, and the Fall from Grace due to Original Sin. It emphasizes Christ’s presence and works, focusing on His redemption through the Paschal Mystery and the moral implications for believers. The rest of the year explores the story of Christ's followers as shown through a survey of church history, beginning with Pentecost through the present day pontificate of Leo XIV.
