Our Religious Education Program employs the Alive in Christ Adolescent Faith Guidebooks Curriculum for grades 6th, 7th, and 8th. This model includes six lessons, each guided through a three-step process--Invite, Discover, and Live--young people encounter Christ, his truth, and a life of missionary discipleship. Each lesson also includes dynamic, interactive teaching strategies, Catholic Social Teaching, and attention to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
They include relevant life situations and the purposeful use of sacred art and contemporary photos. Text is organized into smaller "chunks" to facilitate reading and understanding. Special features included in every lesson include:

• Made in Love Response shows the need for youth to understand the beauty and truth of God's gift of sexuality and chaste living.
• Next, take on the Mind of Christ, which gives the student practice in discerning how to respond to a dilemma with a disciple's conviction.
• The Proclaim Model responds to young people's need to confidently understand and share essential Church teaching.
• The Heart of a Disciple gives students a glimpse into the personal relationship between God and one of the saints.

The program incorporates the most trusted research on how young people learn, communicate and grow in their faith. Content is comprehensive, developmentally appropriate, and allows for very flexible scheduling. In addition, it conforms with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
