The Theology Department supports the
vision statement of DeSales High School by guiding students to be
“competent, concerned, responsible and ethical builders of God’s
kingdom” and true disciples of Christ.
The department is committed to the
interpretation and articulation of the Catholic tradition and to the
fostering of reflection and praxis concerning all aspects of Catholic
Christianity. By supporting the work of Campus Ministry and
offering a curriculum that is academically rigorous and spiritually
enriching, the department hopes to bring students to a deeper
understanding of the Catholic faith and a strengthening and enhancing
of their spiritual life in harmony with their overall intellectual,
critical, and social development.
The goals of the Theology Department
are to assist students in being able to:
-
Articulate the basic teachings of the
Church in light of the USCCB’s curriculum framework and the whole of
the Church’s tradition;
-
Develop a personal relationship with
God and an appreciation for a variety of prayer forms in addition to
the prayer of the sacraments;
-
Discern their identity as Catholic
adults, including their responsibilities to their parish and
community;
-
Carry out their role in the Body of
Christ and engage in solidarity with their fellow human beings.
