Why Is Catholic Education Important To Me?

581 Words3 Pages

My Catholic education means so much to me, because if I did not have it I would not be the person I am today. I am so glad that I have the ability to attend a Catholic school, and also attend mass each week. Not everyone has the opportunity to attend a Catholic school and learn many things like I do. Without my Catholic education I would not be able to attend school mass each week with my friends, have religion class and learn about my faith everyday, and most importantly, I would not be able to talk about my faith and God freely in religion class or with my friends.

Being able to attend mass each week is just one of the things that I am thankful for. Going to Mass each Wednesday is a privilege that I am very grateful for. Not everyone gets to have the chance to go to mass each week and receive the body of Christ. Even though sometimes I do not want to go to mass, after I am glad that I went to church. I am thankful that I get to go to Church with my family on the weekends and get to learn more about my faith with my family every Saturday. I am very lucky to be able to attend Mass twice every week.

Having religion class is one of the best things about having Catholic education because I get to know what my faith really means. My …show more content…

Having a Catholic education has changed me as a person over the many years I have been at St. Cecilia School. My teachers and friends have taught me so many things about always trusting God, and they have taught me to stay on my path to heaven. Being able to attend a Catholic school is an opportunity of a lifetime and I am very grateful to be able to have that opportunity. Also, I am very thankful to have been able to spend ten years at St. Cecilia, be able to spend four more years at a Catholic school, and learn about my faith even

This concept will be strengthened in my education at OBU because every class I take will include God, not brush Him off to the side. Up to this point, every class I’ve taken has been nothing but an attack on my faith. It was hard to never hear creationism taught as the truth or the Bible ever being mentioned in history classes. But here at OBU, He will be the most important part of every lesson.

    Because I am Mexican and live in a predominately Hispanic town, nearly everybody I know is Catholic. My friends, my teachers, and even my loved ones. It was difficult to explain to them that I did not share their beliefs. I was labeled and judged by many of those around me (which I found ironic considering Matthew 7:1). I began to feel pretty low, until I realized that our Lord Jesus was too judged and labeled and even humiliated for everyone to see.

  • Personal Christian Beliefs

    In this past week’s reading and lecture notes I have began to encompass a new perspective about my personal Christian beliefs that before taking this class I had never even thought to question. For me when I saw that in history there was more than one Son of God it through me for a loop because I had been raised to believe that the one and only true Son of God was Jesus. When I read about Apollonius, it really made me realize that the Son of God back in those times was subjective based on who you talk to as well as the fact that some people even saw Jesus as a hoax. One aspect I have enjoyed about this class so far comes from the content that really allows me to see Christianity from a new perspective not just like a Sunday school lesson I

    There are so many unique aspects that make God so exciting to learn about! One of the reasons I chose Saint Thomas was because of their Theology requirement and while it may not be on other colleges’ list of requirements, it sure was at the top of mine. Saint Thomas has always been a religious university and I want to help it stay that way by using the chapels and churches on campus and truly spending the time to learn about God. God has always taught us to give to others and I consider giving back to the church and community to be those solutions. That does not mean that we can’t be inclusive of other religions out there.
