St. Edward High School's Religious Education Philosophy
The courses of study in Religious Education at St. Edward High School foster each young man’s maturing in faith. Students are challenged to deep reflection and insight into the reality of Jesus in their lives. They become familiar with the Scriptures as God’s Word to us, and our Catholic heritage as a source of challenge and direction in living the Gospels. Students study and reflect on life issues as seen through the eyes of faith. They analyze contemporary issues using Catholic principles of morality and justice. Students are offered opportunities to act with courage in expressing their commitments in peer and service ministries. Religious education teachers offer personnel and support for prayer services, service projects, and retreat experiences that allow students to live the Gospels today.
