THEOLOGY at DeLaSalle High School:  Rooted in Catholic Christianity, and rooted in the richly diverse community of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"In harmony with the philosophy of DeLaSalle High School and the National Catechetical Directory:  Sharing the Light of Faith, the Theology Department attempts to do the following for our students:

*To encourage each one to develop a personal faith response to the unconditional love of God.
*To provide them with an understanding of the Catholic tradition.
*To help them to learn how to participate in a community of faith
*To invite each to live a life of service to others.

The Bible, the Word of God, is shared daily through classroom prayers, texts, activities, and liturgies.  Opportunities for participation in the sacramental life of the Catholic Church

Stop the Genocide.

are made available in cooperation with Lasallian Ministry,

Through the study of Jesus’ life and mission, students encounter Christian values basic to life in all of its progressions and challenges.  Students develop an awareness of the created world as a gift, but also recognize the need for redemption.  Theology teachers seek to aid students in their search for God through the examination of world history, cultures and customs.  Emphasis is given to the Catholic tradition, its historical development and ritual expression.

These studies are positioned against the backdrop of contemporary times in order to furnish the values necessary for attaining a productive and fulfilled Catholic Christian life."
