To teach as Jesus

Gross Catholic curriculum includes four required theology courses for students. In addition, students participate in an apostolic outreach, whereby they can offer service to their school, church, and the community at large, each year.

Theology 1 provides an in-depth study of the four pillars of the Catholic faith: focusing on the creed, morality, liturgy and sacraments, and prayer. In addition, the vision of Father William Chaminade S.M., and Marianist spirituality are introduced.

Theology 2 explores the Hebrew Scriptures using a historical, cultural, and theological framework applying the stories and themes to their lives. Study of the Christian Testament, particularly the Gospels as a source of discovering Jesus is also part of the curriculum.

Theology 3 reflects on the roots of Catholicism to foster an appreciation for our history and heritage. A moral framework will be presented whereby the student is challenged to accept the role of being a responsible Catholic; thus, helping the student to achieve his or her potential in the light of Catholic Church teachings and directives.

Theology 4 explores social justice issues applying Catholic Social Teaching. Through a study of Christian lifestyles, the student will gain a clearer understanding of the four lifestyle paths: marriage, consecrated life, single and ordained clergy.
