FAITH LEARNED

The Religious Studies Department of Mary Help of Christians Academy is committed to fostering the integral faith development of our students. We seek to provide the means for students to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ as they learn, celebrate and live their faith.

Growth in faith requires ongoing systematic instruction in the truths of the faith. Throughout our four-year religious studies curriculum, students receive a solid foundation in the teachings of the Catholic Church. The basis of this teaching is found in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition as presented in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This instruction includes the Creed, the Ten Commandments, prayer, worship, the Sacraments, the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, morality and contemporary moral/life/justice issues, the history of Christianity, Christian vocations, social justice, and our relationship with other religions.
