7th Grade Religion

In 7th grade  we focus on the the New Testament and the life of Jesus. For the average 7th and 8th grade student the idea of God and Jesus can seem far away. One of our main goals is to feel more connected to God by learning more about Jesus and the Holy Spirit within all of us. Our guiding statement and challenge in the 7th grade is "To make the life and teachings of Jesus meaningful in our lives today through our words and actions". In 7th grade we also focus on the parts of the Mass & Liturgy, the Creed, the Sacraments and we learn about the Liturgical calendar and the lives of Saints. We give special attention to the seasons of Advent and Lent. It is a great year and I really look forward to working with the kids.
