The religion classes, retreats and Holy Masses, the influence of the teachers all helped to form the Catholic St. Joe student. In the freshman year students studied the history of the Church, laying the foundation for their other years of religious study. Sophomores poured over the Life of Christ, while the juniors delved into the more complex theological and philosophical sub- jects such as conscience, the soul, and grace. For the seniors there were talks and discussions dealing with such current items as the revised Mass, birth control, racism, social justice, and ecumenism. . n informal discussion is carried on by Brother Richard Emge and his religion class.
