Faith Formation
Spiritual formation and the imparting of religious information in an academic setting are the goals of the religion program of the Catholic school. Providing and supporting such a program is the responsibility of the school faculty under the spiritual leadership of the Principal. Accordingly, there needs to be provision for students and teachers from all academic areas to participate in the planning and implementing of the various religious activities of the school. Members of the Religion Department and the Campus Ministry program will serve as catalysts and assume leadership roles in relationship to these activities. Nevertheless, all teachers are to be concerned with the religious formation of youth.
Class time, assignments and accountability for religious studies is comparable to that of other academic areas. Religion courses are to be graded and to receive full academic credit. Students are graded on academic achievement in religion and comprehension of subject matter and not on their religious affiliation, personal belief or the practice of their faith.
