Topics include:

1. Acts & Assessments

2. Moral Conscience

3. Moral Principles

4. Virtues

5. Happiness

This course seeks to provide participants with:

• An appreciation for the indispensable need for lifelong formation of moral conscience; and 

• An appreciation for the need to cultivate and the practice of the both human and theological virtues so that in seeking happiness which inspires one’s activities, one might be drawn to God who alone can fulfil it;

• Help participants develop an appreciation for moral formation in catechesis in light of the divine pedagogy.
