Seventh Grade Religion

Course Syllabus 2015-2016 

The seventh grade course which uses The Life of Grace text focuses our study on God's saving love as it is revealed through His son Jesus in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition.  It centers on the life and teachings of Jesus and the sacraments He instituted.  The students should become more literate about the Old and New Testaments through the daily readings and many passages reference in the text.  The aim is for the students to connect Scripture to their daily life experiences and to nurture spirituality and a life of prayer.  By the end of seventh grade, the students should have sufficient knowledge of the call to live as disciples of Jesus Christ.
