Religion
Knowing Christ, the Splendor of Truth, will set us free. The Religion courses propose the Truth of Christ through a message steeped in Scripture and founded on the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. Students have the Gospel message proclaimed to them, are confronted with a choice, and then have the freedom and help to make a response in faith.
