Theology
The Theology Department strives to offer a favorable setting where, daily, young people are afforded the opportunity to hear and live the Gospel, to learn and appreciate the teaching of the Church, to acquire a deep understanding, reverence and love for the Liturgy, to build community, to pray and properly form their consciences, to develop virtue and participate in Christian service. Inspired by Church teaching we aim to provide our students with an education by virtue of which the spirit of Christ may inspire their whole lives.
