Religion Should Be the Rule of Life This year all students at Morris Catholic are studying re- ligion under the Kerygmatic approach. Freshmen, taught by the Reverend Ronald Amandolare, chairman of the religion department, strive for a greater understanding of the Bible. To supplement text material, students made maps of the geographic areas discussed. In the second year the process of salvation from the time of Abraham to the establishment of Christ's Church is taught in classes instructed by the Reverend Edward Kearns of Saint Christopher parish and the Reverend Charles Cassidy of Saint Peter Parish, both in Parsip- pany. The first two books are Scripture oriented, the upper- classmen use the Bible only indirectly. The focal point of the junior course is the Church, beginning with its founding and continuing up to the Second Vatican Coun- cil and the changes resulting from it. The Reverend Rich- ard Grasso of Dover,s Holy Rosary Church and the Rev- erend John Heekin of Pope Pius X in Montville teach these classes. An extra project in correlation with this theme is a survey of the recent Council as well as a com- plete study of past Councils. The Reverend John Demkovich of Saint Maryas Denville, and the Reverend Eugene Romano from Saint Cecilia Church in Rockaway offer to their senior classes a brief introduction to Apologetics before utilizing the text. The fourth-year course is primarily devoted to vocations giv- ing four months, study to the married state. Lectures by outside speakers contribute to a well-rounded program. STRUMMING his guitar, Reverend Ronald Amondolare practices for folk Mass of First Friday. 28
