Grades 6-8 

Sixth graders study and become familiar with the Old Testament and the covenant promise made to Abraham and carried out until the coming of Jesus.  Seventh graders study the four gospels: writers, characteristics of each gospel, the audience for whom they wrote, and the perspective of that community as they experienced Jesus in their time, their culture, and their society.   We also take time to learn the story of Jesus’ life and Mary’s role in the salvation story during October, the month of the rosary.  Eighth graders study the Acts of the Apostles and Church History up to the present day.  Other ideas and topics are discussed which are prompted by “the Holy Spirit.”

Classes are held on Sunday mornings from 11 a.m. -12:30 p.m. immediately following 10:00 Mass.  The year begins in September and finishes before Easter.   We are always looking for volunteers and cathecists.  Please contact us at 262-628-8143 if you want to get involved.
