Class of 2023
- This class is based on analytical thinking and reasoning. Just because you are not Catholic doesn't mean that this class will ignore you. It will help you develop interpretations of your own spiritual life. - The writing amount varies. If there is not an upcoming summative project, then there's little. If there is, then there is a lot. Prepare to write much for projects, but to not have much homework otherwise.

Mr. Barrett teaches this class in an open and welcoming fashion, allowing for both Christian, Muslim, and atheist perspectives to be considered. He doesn't indoctrinate, rather guides us to a life of constant thinking and reinterpreting for the benefit of our own interpretations. Take what you will from this class and try to make it a time for personal reflection and thought. It isn't super difficult if you pay attention for a bit.
