Standard 1.
Sacred Scripture
Students will
read and come to understand Sacred Scripture as God's Word speaking to them.
Standard 2.
Doctrine
Students will
know and understand the basic teachings of the church and how they apply to
their lives.
Standard 3.
Sacraments
Students will
know and appreciate the importance of the sacraments and the centrality of the
Eucharist in the life of Catholics.
Standard 4.
Community
Students will
understand and appreciate the role of the faith community – the Catholic Church
– into which they have been baptized and through which they grow in faith to
mature discipleship and will know what it means to have membership in the local,
universal Catholic Church.
Standard 5.
Service
Students will
engage in service to and exercise responsible stewardship for the various
communities to which they belong: family, school, parish, civic, national,
global.
Standard 6.
Prayer
Students will
experience and appreciate a variety of prayer forms in addition to the prayer of
the sacraments.
Standard 7.
