Religion is taught two to three times a week and is mandatory for
Catholic students. The main textbooks are part of the Faith & Life
series published by Ignatius Press. Classes are supplemented with
selected and interesting narratives from the Old and New Testaments,
as well as monthly chapel services and occasional devotional practices
such as the recital of the rosary, which includes an imaginative and
meditative exploration of the various mysteries. Themes that pervade
the religion curriculum include the recognition and effort of living as
a loved child of God, a more personal knowledge of the person of
Jesus, as well as the understanding of religion and worship as just and
proper responses to the Creator.
