The Theology Department is a central and integral part of St.
Francis High School. We believe that people encounter God in
their everyday activities; it is our goal as religious educators
to promote the awareness of God’s presence and encourage the
interaction of God’s grace and our free response. The Theology
Department prepares the students to go forth as living examples
of service, community building, and faith. There is an ecumenical
spirit in our Catholic school which serves those of different
Christian denominations, Orthodox traditions, and the Jewish,
Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, and Islamic faiths.
The eight semesters of theology:
- Present the core beliefs and practices of Roman Catholicism.
- Foster an appreciation of: Prayer and Worship; Ethical
behavior; Christian Service; Reverence for the mystery of life;
Respect for people and religions.
