8th Grade Religion (Period 2)
Course Description
TEXT: Blest Are We
The Story of Our Church
ONLINE: www.blestarewe.com
The Scope and Sequence for Blest Are We is based on the structure of The Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Each chapter explores the theme from the perspective of one of the four pillars of The Catechism of the Catholic Church, and every unit follows this same spiral organization.
This thematic, spiritual approach assures that students:
• Learn the content of our Catholic faith
• Celebrate it in worship
• Connect it to their everyday life
• Learn to pray
We will be spending a portion of our time concentrating on Family Life. The specific texts that were provided to your child were:
• The International Student Bible For Catholics
• Benziger – Family Life 8th Grade
Additionally, I will be showing several family life documentaries.
Junior High students and 8th graders in particular, are at a critical time in their development. It is important that each young teen be given the opportunity to discover their own unique gifts and the personhood given to them by God. The traditions and beliefs of the church can be an anchor in a world that is otherwise changing at a frightening rate of speed. You and I play an important role in the growth of your child as Catholic Christians.
I thank you for this awesome and wonderful privilege.
