Celebrating our Faith

Curriculum Spotlight

Year 3: Encountering God’s Forgiveness and Healing

Forgiveness and healing are signs of God's love. 

-forgiveness and healing are important for human flourishing. 

Forgiveness is one of the great characteristics of the Christian faith. 

-as we are forgiven, we must also forgive others. 

-forgiving others, as God forgives us, restores the bonds of friendship and love between people and with God. 

Forgiveness and healing are celebrated in the Sacraments of Penance and Anointing of the Sick. 

Year 4: Called to be People of Justice

The work of justice is important in bringing about the Kingdom of God.  

  • The world of everyday life, the ordinary world of our immediate experience, is where the work for justice begins.  
  • Justice is expressed in practical daily decisions and actions that affect others and the world in both the local and global community.  
  • To do justice is to uphold every form of human dignity and to ensure that all have access to adequate living conditions.
