Theology

As a Seattle Archdiocesan Catholic high school, Kennedy Catholic's Theology Department shares in the mission to educate in the Catholic faith using the United States Council of Catholic Bishops’ National Curriculum Framework. In their four years of study, students encounter the risen Christ and the good news of the Gospel through careful study of Jesus’s life and values, and of the Paschal Mystery. Students will be able to articulate Catholic teaching and explain why they believe what they believe by reflecting on their own experiences of prayer, of faith community, and of service. Students are encouraged to apply theological principles to other subjects, current events, and their lives. The Theology Department strives to help each student embrace their unique personhood and to live freely and joyfully in loving relationship with God and others.
