Department Chair: Laura Schumacher
The goal of the Freshman theology course is to challenge the student to actively participate in the building of a faith community. To do this, the student is provided with the opportunity to experience God’s reverence for life as presented in Scripture.
The Sophomore theology course focuses on an examination of our personal values and beliefs and the importance of the role these beliefs play in our everyday decisions. The topics of Morality and Sexuality are presented in the framework of both God’s message that “all creation is good and therefore has worth”, and the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Social JusticeThe Social Justice course will challenge students to recognize her/his role as a participant in both the local and world communities. This is achieved by focusing on the issues of social justice and having each student contemplate how these issues exist in his/her life and community.

Church HistoryThis course offers the student the opportunity to explore the history of the Catholic Church and its unique traditions.

Death and Dying
Why do people suffer? Why separation and pain brought about by death exist? This course will examine these questions by looking at suffering and death, hope and resurrection as part of the life experience.

Christian Lifestyles
We are called to be witnesses to our faith every day of our lives. The majority answer this call in marriage. Others choose the single life or the religious and consecrated lifestyles of priests, nuns, and brothers. Each of these vocations will be presented and discussed as options to live out our Christian witness.
