The Theology Department of Holy Savior Menard Central High School teaches doctrine according to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church as articulated by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.  Our curriculum is as follows:
7^th Grade - Introduction to the Catholic Faith Part I
8^th Grade - Introduction to the Catholic Faith Part II and Sacraments
9^th Grade - Sacred Scripture
10^th Grade - History of the Catholic Church
11^th Grade - Life in Christ: Virtue and Morality
12^th Grade - Faithful Citizenship, Apologetics, Prayer, and Liturgical Rites
 
Recognizing the confusion in our times over the understanding of the human person, 7^th Grade and 11^th Grade Theology classes will have a section dedicated to studying Pope St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. 
Our theology educators encourage students to pursue continual growth in their knowledge and experience of faith.  We strive to prepare students to live a rich sacramental life through a real and loving relationship with the Lord.
Throughout each year of study, students discover their own identity as Children of God and experience the joy of serving others as Christ serves us, selflessly.  To build our faith community, students are encouraged to worship God and to minister to the needs of others through the M.O.R.E. project as defined in the curriculum and in conjunction with our Campus Ministry Department.
Theology as an academic subject promotes an understanding of truth and virtue.  Our courses and our staff strive to bring about the Kingdom of God in this world and to prepare students to live with Him in the next.  Nurturing spirituality in the Menard community seeks to establish a personal and prayerful relationship with the entire Trinity.
We look forward to accompanying each child through this journey.
