CAT 402 Catechetical Methods II: Beauty and Liturgy
Will build upon the methodological foundation established in CAT 401 by considering two essential elements of the Catholic worldview and their impact on how we teach: beauty as a way to God and the liturgy as the locus of maximum encounter with God. Students will prepare to teach the content of the Faith in ways that make manifest its beauty (most notably by employing art, music, literature, and film) and by drawing upon the ritual texts of the Church’s liturgy—both of which are essential to a Catholic way of teaching and making disciples. Students will continue to grow in proficiency in lesson planning, oral presentation skills, and in the thoughtful engagement of methodological trends prevalent in the Church today.
