Note: Seniors must choose two different semester theology courses.

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the Church’s social teaching. In this course, students will learn how Christ’s concern for others, especially the poor and needy, is present today in the Church’s social teaching and mission. Issues such as capital punishment, immigration, discrimination and stewardship of the earth will be explored through writings of popes, bishops and lay people who are recognized as leaders in the area of social justice.
