grade 8

The Church: Body of Christ and People of God explore the identity, mission, and life of the Church. Students learn that the Church is God’s chosen family, founded by Jesus, born of the Holy Spirit, and sent into the world to continue Christ’s mission. 

Through Holy Qurbana, Scripture, tradition, and lived experience, students discover the four marks of the Church, Church is One, Church is Holy, Church is Catholic, and Church is Apostolic ; and each one owns role as priestly, prophetic, and missionary disciples. Mary, the Mother of the Church, accompanies this journey as a model of faith and obedience.
