Welcome to the online component for your faith formation! After each class, you will have a month to visit the Student Page to listen, watch, and read materials based on what you learned. These mini-sessions are meant to build upon what you learned in class, and give you tools to continue to grow deeper in your faith.

In each section, you will find:

  • LEARN MORE: This section summarizes what we learned, and gives you additional information that builds upon what we learned, either through a video or an article.
  • SAINT PROFILES: In this section, you will explore the lives of different saints and learn how they followed Christ through their words and actions. As you read each saint profile, consider the virtues they practiced, the challenges they faced, and what lessons their lives can teach us today. The goal is to discover role models of faith and reflect on how their example can inspire your own life.
  • HOMEWORK: In this section you will find the homework that touches on the topics covered in class along with the information shared here. Please complete your homework assignments in the Google Form at the bottom of each section. If you have any trouble, have your parents email me at This email address is being protected from spambots.

→ LEARN MORE: THE STORY OF THE BIBLE

  • In class, we spoke of the Bible as a collection of books that told the story of God divinely revealing himself to His Creation; it is a story of love between God and His Creation, the story of God’s love for YOU! Due to humanity’s free choice, they chose to stray from God and rupture their relationship with Him. God, loving His Creation so much, establishes a covenant with His Creation in order to fix this relationship. This covenant develops over time leading to its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. But, what is that story? Please watch this Bible Project video below to get a quick summary of this story:
