In this sacrament, sin, repentance and guilt are brought into contact with the compassion and love of Christ. This course is an attempt to lead the students to a realization that faith in God is an integral part of our search for meaning and fulfillment in life. Traditional arguments for the existence of God are explored. Personal faith in God as revealed in Sacred Scripture is affirmed. The Catholic faith is studied as a community response to God's call for conversion of heart.
Faith is witnessed by acts of charity and justice.
Jesus is the Christian model of these virtues. This course looks at causes and effects of social injustice with special attention given to the contemporary issues of economic justice and poverty, hunger, and world peace.

This course is intended to develop the idea that Christian vocation is the call to live in Christ Jesus. It examines the way in which marriage, priesthood, religious life and the single life alll contribute to the building up of the Kingdom of God.
