Welcome to 6th-8th Grade Religion

6th grade:
This year will be a deep dive into the Old Testament to discover how Christ is prefigured in our salvation history in the Old Testament. This will be a year of reading scripture, learning exciting stories of the faith filled people of God, and deepening our relationship with God and the church. Students will use the Break Through! Bible from St. Mary’s press as their primary textbook and will work in google classroom on journals throughout the church seasons as well.
 
7th grade:
This year we will break into the gospels and dive deeply into the teachings of Christ. We will look at and compare the synoptic gospels, discuss the Christology of John’s gospel, and explore the mysteries of the Holy Trinity. Students will use the Break Through! Bible from St. Mary’s press as their primary textbook and will work in google classroom on journals throughout the church seasons as well.
 
8th grade:
This year will pick up at Pentecost and dive deeply into the acts of the apostles, journeys of St. Paul, and the history of the Church. We will also spend the year getting to know ourselves as young men and women of the church as joyful missionary disciples as we discuss morality, church teachings, and social justice.
