Spirit of Truth is designed to help children internalize the Faith and apply it to their own lives, providing ample opportunity for them to reflect on how everything they are learning applies to their own lived experiences.
Learn about the Spirit of Truth Program
The children in grades 4-5 meet on Wednesday evenings from 6-7:30p.m. Their formation is modeled after the pattern of the early church and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of the bread and the prayers” (Acts 2:42). Formation is not only learning the teachings Jesus has entrusted to the Church, but it is also encountering Jesus in one another (fellowship), in the sacraments (breaking of the bread), and in prayer. To this end we encourage our catechists to nurture a love of Christ in all of these areas. We want the children to spend time with the Lord not only in his teachings, but by getting to know their peers, making Sunday Mass the most important part of their week, and visiting Him often in the tabernacle or monstrance as well as making Confession a regular part of their lives.
Grade 4 – The Moral Life
- Fourth grade focuses on the moral life, our loving response to God’s great gift to us. Students explore more deeply what it means to be created in the image and likeness of God
Grade 5 – The Seven Sacraments
- Fifth grade provides an in-depth exploration of God’s grace in the Sacraments, with a focus on what a Sacrament is and why Jesus instituted them.
