The St. Elizabeth C.H.S. Religion Department
Catholic schools are no less zealous than other schools in the promotion of culture and in the human formation of young people. It is the special function of the Catholic school to:
- develop in the school community an atmosphere animated by a spirit of liberty and charity
- enable young people, while developing their own personality to grow at the same time in that new life which hs been given them in baptism
- orientate the whole human culture to the message of salvation
Religious Education, as an evolving discipline, enables young people to discover the truth, nuture attitudes and develop the skills necessary to grow as young Catholics in these changing times. For these reasons, Religious Education is designed to promote a Catholic identity that will assit them in the task of becoming life-long learners in relation to their faith within a multi-religious and sometimes anti-religious society.
It is also designed to assist in the process of ethical and moral formation within a culture that all too often fails to recognize the call of God upon men and women, the fundamental dignity of the human person and the existence of absolute ethical norms.
