Writings of Christian Spiritual Fathers and Mothers

Overview

Believers pray, drawing on the richness of scripture, the Catholic tradition and the wider Christian tradition, including the prayers and writings of Christian spiritual fathers and mothers (e.g. Catherine McAuley, Nano Nagle, Edmund Rice, Don Bosco, Mary MacKillop) to nurture their spiritual life. Year 9 students are provided the opportunity to explore these prayers and writings of Christian spiritual fathers and mothers, and their own school's charism, through these Content Descriptions in the Religion Curriculum P-12 (CLPS22 and STCW10).
