Religious Studies

Mission Statement

With God, all things are possible graphic

The religious education program at Cardinal Ambrozic is designed to give a broad overview of important elements in the Catholic faith. Throughout this four-year Catholic faith journey, students explore various topics which include scripture, sacraments, ethics and world religions which grounds students in a Catholic worldview. Catholic education is not restricted to intellectual formation alone but to a student's emotional and spiritual growth as well. Students participate in retreat experiences in each of the four years of religious study. These retreat opportunities will provide students with the experience of truly living our school motto: “We are God’s hands”.  Religious education programs are designed to invite the student into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the foundation and cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20), of the Catholic faith. It is the hope of Catholic education that the growth of understanding and awareness of faith issues will deepen the personal experience and the spiritual growth of each individual, so that they all may be appropriated to the lived experience.

"A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindn​​ess gathers love." -St. Basil the Great
