Class Overview
The 7th grade religion program is devoted to the study of God’s saving love as it is revealed through his son Jesus Chirst. Students will grow in knowledge and love of Jesus through prayer and studying the Gospels. They should appreciate that the sacraments enable them to respond to the call to follow Jesus live by his teachings, and proclaim God’s kingdom in word, worship, witness, and service. I also hope that each child will leave St. Joe’s with a greater understanding of his or her faith, and a strong relationship with God.
