Religious Education Program RE 101 RENEWAL OF CHRISTIAN FAITH This course is divided into 3 themes; each is distributed within the three periods of the semester. PART I highlights the subject of faith and the believer. As we reflect, pray, learn, search and grow we recognize ourselves in relation to our faith. PART II deals with the source of faith, strength and life, which is God’s Word. The stories of the Old and New Testament books are also discussed. PART III focuses on the lives of the Augustinian Recollect saints, blessed and martyrs who lived out the word of God. RE 201 CHRISTIAN MORALITY – COMMANDMENTS PART I It discusses the basic principles of morality involved in the moral choices and decisions of every Christian. It also presents the relationship of the human beings to human acts, norms of Christian Morality, human freedom, reality of sin and grace. PART II presents the Christian moral norms from the Ten Commandments and stories of Jesus and His disciples with special emphasis on the message of the Sermon at the Mount (Beatitudes). RE 301 SACRAMENTS This course is a biblical and historical presentation and explanation of the mysteries of the Christian Faith manifested through the mission of the Church: THE SACRAMENTS is understood as “the saving symbolic acts arising from the ministry of Jesus Christ and continued in, by and for the Church, which, when celebrated in faith, draw us into likeness to Christ in His Paschal Mystery, through the power of the Holy Spirit. RE 401 CREED The course is designed to provide the students with the essential rudiments of Catholic Faith, dealing specifically with the articles of the Apostle’s CREED. The orientation is distinctively “Catholic.” It is primarily grounded on the principles from some verses of Revelation: Sacred Scriptures, Church magisterium and sacred tradition and an ample orientation of its relevance to dynamic changes in our church today. PART I - Introduction (History of the Creed) PART II - God the Father PART III - Jesus Christ PART IV - The Holy Spirit RE 501 MARY and the CHURCH This course aims to develop the socio-pastoral awareness of the students. We expect the students to be actively involved in the promotion of the Gospel through the activities of the Church. The content of the course is about the Church (Ecclesiology) and Mary (Mariology). The ecclesiological aspect will be geared towards the Church’s role in the present society. Hence, the relevant issues concerning the present society and of the Church will be given special attention. The Mariological emphasis is important considering that the Philippine Church is Marian in character. The socio-pastoral activity gives students an avenue for putting into practice what they have personally believed and learned regarding Christ’s teachings (e.g. Church service). HUMANITIES 101 LOGIC The course is concerned with the study of laws, methods and principles governing correct reasoning and inferential thinking. It is focused on the three mental activities namely: simple apprehension, judgment and reasoning, their mental products and their external expressions. This is prevalently an analytic subject which is pre-requisite to subsequent courses in all college courses.
