High School Core Courses
The purpose of high school Catechesis is to help your
student enrich and expand their understanding of Scripture and Tradition, and
their application to life today, and to live more faithfully through a life of
prayer, justice, and service. The high school program builds on the foundation
of your student's grade school Catholic education and continues to guide our
faith formation as adults. Genuine faith is a total response of the whole
person: mind, heart, and will. This ministry of high school catechesis fosters
growth in Catholic faith in all three dimensions: trusting (heart), knowing
and believing (mind), and doing (will).
Young Neighbors In Action- Mission Trip June 2012 Participation in a High School Mission Trip satisfies the service expectations for Confirmation. By doing so the students demonstrate a strong commitment to justice and service.
