Continuing Religious Education
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Grades
Grade 4, 5 and 6 Overview
Welcome to our series Alive in Christ! This is an exciting year as we begin with a new series and learn about how we can help to spread the Christian way of life in our world.
Fourth Grade- Children will identify ways God is revealed in creation, in Sacred Scripture, in the Church and in his Son, Jesus. They will identify their obligation as Christians to live like Jesus by loving God and others. They will learn of the Sacraments and the Ten Commandments, and how we must respect life and the gifts of the earth. Students ill learn to live the Beatitudes following the example of Jesus, Mary and the Saints.
​
Fifth Grade- Children will identify characteristics of Christian worship as they become more familiar with the Mass and come to understand worship's importance for our life of faith. They will gain a deeper love for the brothers and siters with whom they are united in ways in the Eucharist. They will come to understand that God calls his people to serve in various ways in the Church.
​
Sixth Grade- Students will learn that because Jesus is true God and true man, He gives us a perfect example of how to live the life the Father planned for us. Through Baptism each of us shares in Christ's mission as Priest, Prophet, and King. They will learn that believing in the Holy Trinity is central to our Catholic faith. We are children of God and Father, brothers and sisters of Christ, and Temples of the Holy Sprit who helps us to live faithful lives. They will learn that God created us with equal humandignity so that we must work for the common good. They will learn of some of the many saints who havev worked to make a difference.
In this way, we are the living Church here
at Sts. Philip and James.
