6th Grade
(Thursday evenings at 5:30 PM)
A wonderful opportunity for a student and their parent to spend quality time together to share their faith, values, and Love of God. This is a Parent/Child class, where each child is required to be accompanied by one of his or her parents. Hebrew Scripture themes are presented, centered around the Jesse Symbols to bring alive the characters and events of Jesus' Jewish History. Each student will
receive their own bible. As we go through sections of the Old Testament in the bible, we also watch
video stories, have activities, and participate in discussions to enrich the learning experience about the "Heroes of the Bible".
We also take time to enjoy fellowship and refreshments at the end of each class.
7th Grade
(Tuesday evenings at 7-8 PM)
Offers an opportunity to learn about and discuss the Christian Scriptures of the New Testament. This program focuses on the New Testament Scriptures on the life of Jesus Christ. We study the people, events and culture of Jesus' life time. At times we view the sections of the film series "Jesus of Nazareth". Also, we walk in Jesus' footsteps as we do outreach projects, within and outside of our parish.
8th Grade
(Monday evenings from 7-8 PM)
The 8th Grade program is a special opportunity for students to study Christian values and human sexuality.
Using the program Valuing Values, the students discuss human sexuality:
God's Image
Stereotyping
Relationships |
Male
/ Female Issues
Making Decisions
Human Life |
Sexism
Peer Pressure
Choices for staying healthy |
This is not a sex education
course, but a course on applying Christian Values and
Catholic Morals in the confusing world of being a teen !
The class sessions are conducted in small groups of eight to twelve students and meet in homes with a parent and a facilitator.
