MIDDLE SCHOOL Religion 

As our Religion and Family Life Programs progress through each grade, they encourage students to personally embrace the faith of their childhood, prepare them to move into high school with sound Catholic values and convictions, and motivate them to become actively involved in their church community. We strive to build a community of faith in word and action through the formal religious instruction that takes place each day as well as through learning about and modeling Gospel values in word and action.

All students have the advantage of participating in daily formal religious instruction. The curriculum follows the Curriculum Standards for Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Baltimore and includes Catholic faith tradition, scripture, Church doctrine, prayer, sacramental life, morality and community/service appropriate for students’ age and grade level.

Christ Our Life, 2016 (Loyola Press) is the primary textbook used. Each level of study focuses on learning about an aspect of the Catholic faith and our journey with God. Grades for religious instruction are included on the trimester progress reports.
