Self Spirituality and Scripture

"How does one become a butterfly?"  
    "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to
          give up being a caterpillar."
                                               - Trina Paulus
 
 
 Self, Spirituality and Scripture
This year-long course involves students in an exploration of themselves as young women growing in body, mind, and spirit. Students study the nature of faith, the basic beliefs of Catholic Christianity, and the charism of St. Julie Billiart and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.
 
Within this class, students study women who have significantly contributed to humankind and are models for their own spiritual and personal journey. The second semester includes an overview of the Hebrew Scriptures that examines the formation of scripture and how the study of scripture contributes to ongoing spiritual growth.
