This year in religion students will focus on the exploration on the Old Testament. We will use various types of media including textbooks, the Bible, videos, and podcasts to help better understand the history of our faith. The central theme being God revealing Himself to His people. I am looking forward to sharing ways the Old Testament is linked to the New Testament with Jesus being the fulfillment of ancient prophecies. We will continue learning about the sacraments and participate in Reconciliation and Communion. Furthermore, students will participate in activities like Stations of the Cross and the Rosary. Check this page often for assignments and class activities.
