Theology focuses on the living God, community, man 1 Theology courses this year focused on the sharing of ideas through dialogue, group discussion, and individual class instruction. Freshmen explored methods and levels of communication, attempted to know themselves better, and to come to a deeper understanding of the different concepts of God. Participation in small group liturgies helped sophomores respond to God’s presence in community worship.

The students in Christian Community classes explored theological interpretations of Vatican II and other church doctrine. Senior course, Man in a Religionless Society, compared current values with traditional Christian thought.

During the course of the year the major undertakings included a Christmas project, preparation of a full course meal, and Practical Arts Night, in which they displayed their newly acquired skills.
