Our catalog of courses is complete. We will occasionally adjust the course listing to reflect the addition of new courses and the retirement of others.
Your student will be guided through the time-tested Baltimore Catechism Q & A with a practical, clear format, giving your child a solid grounding in (and deep understanding of) the Catholic faith.
Total classes: 13
Prerequisite: Basic Catechism
Suggested grade level: 6th to 8th
Suggested credit: One full semester Theology
Description
The main goal of the course is to gain mastery over the content of the Baltimore Catechism as presented therein that they might KNOW God. Each class will also try to show how the lesson of the week is reasonableness and beautiful that the children might grow in LOVE for God. Finally, I hope to present how this most lovable faith can be lived out in a practical way so the students may begin (or continue) to SERVE God and put into practice what we have learned.
NOTE: The structure that we will follow will be that found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Baltimore Catechism says – Creed, Commandments, Sacraments, Prayer. The Catechism Of The Catholic Church. Presents it as Creed, Sacraments, Commandments, Prayer.
