Just as our Faith touches every aspect of our lives, it is a part of every class we teach at Kolbe-Trinity. Our chapel is at the heart of our school, and activities continue to center around it in high school. Latin and Novus Ordo Mass, morning prayer, Rosary, Confession, Adoration, retreats, sodalities, and altar server training provide our students with daily opportunities to practice their Faith.
In high school, our students launch upon a deep examination of Scripture, the Sacraments, Church teaching, and apologetics using the Didache series. Understanding that high school is a crucial time for building a sense of self and learning to be independent thinkers, teachers bring students into a rich dialogue with the fundamental truths of their Faith. They are encouraged to ask questions and seek answers, a process which ultimately leads to them claiming the faith of their parents as their own.
In a society which has lost sight of the innate value of the human person and the complementarity of femininity and masculinity, it is more important than ever that our high school students hear the Church’s teaching on human nature. Ruah Wood’s Theology of the Body program guides our high school students in a celebration of what it means to be made in the image and likeness of God. It supports them in their search for what makes them unique and wonderful while simultaneously embracing them as part of the communion of saints.
