Term 2, 2026:  

‘The Church Spreads the Good News’ 

In this unit, students explore how the Catholic Church has spread the Good News of Jesus Christ’s Resurrection, and why it is important for Christians today.

We will achieve this by understanding the following:

• Examining key people and events in the establishment and mission of the early Church

• Exploring the missionary activities of Christians that lead to the spread of Christianity from the 4th century CE

• Identifying and reflecting upon the challenges of spreading the Gospel throughout history and today

• Researching the impact of missionary activity of the Church through the works of Holy Orders and practising individuals

We have these goals because the Church calls all baptised persons to participate in their mission of spreading the good news and contributing to the kingdom of God.
