BREAKOUT SESSIONS

Teaching the Gospels

First-century Palestine is not twenty-first-century Cleveland. What are scholars saying about the world of Jesus? And why should this matter to high school students?

Teaching Sacraments

Young people hear a lot about Confirmation and Eucharist, but what about Baptism? What is the theology of the Rites of Initiation? And why should this matter to high school students?

Teaching Morality

Living a moral life is hard, working for social justice is even harder. How are these two related? And why should this matter to high school students?
