Courses
Scripture and Tradition - Revelation ( Click here for class offerings)
Christianity is a revealed religion. This fact is constitutional to any understanding of the Catholic Faith. This course considers the human capacity for God and God's initiative to meet humankind through revelation. It considers the stages of revelation in the history of the people of Israel and in the person and ministry of Jesus Christ. The conservation and transmission of the Faith through Scripture, Tradition and the Magisterium and our response of belief are also covered.
Profession of Faith - Creed ( Click here for class offerings)
When God reveals humanity's response of to believe. The Creed presents the basic "rule of faith" which tells us the content of the Catholic Faith. Central to Christianity is belief in the Trinity. After a study of God's inner life, the course turns to Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life. It will consider the Incarnation, the Passion, Cross and Resurrection, Ascension and Second Coming. Finally, we consider the work of the Holy Spirit, the nature and mission of the Church, Mary and the Last Things.
Catholic Morality ( Click here for class offerings)
Our belief draws forth a vocation to life in the Spirit. That life is grounded in the dignity of the human person and the communal character of the human vocation. This module will consider free will, conscience, virtue and sin. It will survey the commandments of God and the precepts of the Church. It will also explore the role of morality in personal holiness and social justice.
Liturgy, Sacraments and Prayer (Click here for class offerings)
The central insight of Catholic Christianity is the sacramental economy, which is the work of the Holy Trinity in human history. Our liturgical and sacramental life is the mirror of our belief and one of the means by which our Tradition is handed on to each generation. Our individual prayer prepares us for the liturgy and extends its celebration in our spiritual life. The module will consider the liturgy, the seven sacraments and devotional prayer.
