Sacraments and Life with Jesus Christ, 11th Grade A

In this course, eleventh-grade students understand the experience of a privileged encounter with Jesus in a profound way in and through the sacraments of the Church. Students examine each of the sacraments in detail to learn how they may both encounter Christ throughout their lives, as well as serve and follow Him by contributing to the growth of His Kingdom in this world. The course encourages students to reflect on their own experience of encountering Christ in and through the Sacraments that they have received. The final chapter focuses on sacraments and their role in the day-to-day lives of Catholics. In the second half of the year, students gain an understanding that is only through Christ that they can fully live out God's plans for their lives. Students learn the moral concepts and precepts that govern the lives of Christ's disciples as well as the call to holiness which is taught by Jesus in the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount. Students will also learn about the formation of the conscience and the role of natural law in understanding moral truth.
