Middle School—Grades 6, 7 & 8
The St. Elizabeth Middle School RE uses a curriculum from St. Mary’s Press: “Catholic Connections”. This is a parish religious education program for sixth, seventh and eighth graders. Catholic Connections will strengthen the participants’ Catholic identity and inspire them to participate more fully in the Church’s mission. The sessions in the six courses will help young adolescents to make connections between the Catholic faith and everyday life and to strengthen their connection to the faith community.
These are the topics for the sessions in each grade level:
Grade 6 ----- Book 1: God, Revelation and Faith
Book 2: Jesus the Christ
Grade 7- Book 1: The Holy Spirit and the Church
Book 2: Sacraments & Prayer
Grade 8----- Book 1: The Eucharist
Book 2: Christian Morality & Justice
