Theology
Department Philosophy:
The Theology Department of St. Louis University High School uses a four year program designed to inform students of the major elements of the Catholic Faith and to present opportunities which lead to an interiorization of that faith. Members of our department strive, with the assistance of the grace of God, to provide information, classroom ambiance and modeling which will lead a student to a greater understanding, acceptance and living of his faith.
We attempt to show how faith is actualized and celebrated in the Church?s sacraments, in the Christian community and in doing deeds of justice and live for others. The student learns that faith necessitates taking a stand against attitudes which are contrary to the Gospel, including prejudice, religious indifferentism, moral permissiveness, secular materialism, anti-religious attitudes in the student himself and in the world in which he lives.
We recognize that broader goals of Christian education and development are the responsibility of no one academic department, but of the total SLUH community. Thus, we work for these important goals in union with the Pastoral Program and with the other departments of the school, both academic and co-curricular.
