Religion

The goals and objectives for catechetical instruction for the various grade levels are based on the Religion Curriculum Guidelines of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, the National Catechetical Directory, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Prayer and worship are an integral part of the religious educational program. 

Each Grade:
• The Liturgical Year is developed according to its appropriate placement over the three trimesters.   
 
“Because of God’s presence in time in the person of Jesus Christ, time is sacred.  Christians mark time itself in relation to Christ.” National Directory for Catechesis, USCCB 2005, p. 146).  We are to teach a profound appreciation and reverence for the presence and power of Christ especially in the Eucharist.  We are to foster a commitment and devotion to the celebration of the Eucharist each Sunday.    
 
• The section on Prayer incorporates the separate document, Praying with Children. 
Traditional Catholic Prayers.  The versions we should teach can be found in either the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults  (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops), Appendix B: Traditional Catholic Prayers or the Compendium: Catechism of the Catholic Church, Appendix A: Common Prayers (English and Latin).
