We use Chief Truths of the Faith and Catholic Morality by Fr. John Laux. These are both excellent texts, with good questions requiring careful analysis of the material by the student. Chief Truths of the Faith covers the teachings of the Church, focusing on topics such as creation, original sin, Christ, faith, grace, eternal life, etc. Catholic Morality explains the basic elements of Catholic moral teaching focusing on topics such as sin, virtue, conscience, duties to God, duties to Neighbor, etc. We also include essay and paper topics to give the student practice with writing in variety of styles. The Faith & Morality Syllabus has a day-by-day breakdown of this course along with paper topics, quizzes, answer keys to the quizzes, and a variety of teaching resources including Ninth Grade Subject Rubrics, Learning Objectives, and grading charts. This is a 1 year, 1 credit course.
