During the first year, freshmen become acquainted with the living personality of Christ and learn the practical side of Faith. Grace through Mass and the Sacraments is the chief concern of sophomores, while iuniors undertake the study of Christian morality, and seniors attack Catholic apologetics. ln addition to discussions and open forums held in all classes, every division prepares supplementary religious bulletin boards. Weekly lectures for sophomores, juniors, and seniors are given by Father James Doherty, Father John P. Kennedy, and Father Thomas Fitzgerald, respectively.
