6th Grade Religion
The Sixth Grade course centers on covenants between God and His people. We begin the year with an in-depth study of the covenant with Moses and the gift of the Ten Commandments. Students will investigate the moral life revealed in the Old Testament and fulfilled in Christ. The second half of the course focuses on the eternal covenant in Jesus Christ and how we take part in it through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
