Dir., Basketball Frosh FB, Social Studies RELIGIO The goal of religious education at St. Thomas Aquinas is to instruct the students in Christian ideals, to make their faith living, conscious and active. This is accomplished through the vary- ing religion courses, all of which stress proclaiming the message, inspiring community, and offering opportunities for service. Perhaps the best examples of mes- sage, service, and community can be found in the Junior and Senior Honors classes fmessagejg the newly instituted Senior Social Action class Qservicejg the Adult Education option, and the Senior Sexuality and Marriage Course Ccommunityj. The Retreat Program, begun last year, has helped to foster these ideals by providing a casual set- ting to increase the feeling of com- munity among the students.
