At the core of Catholic morality is our relationship with God. "Whatever else it involves, the Christian moral life begins with the experience that we are loved by God in an unimaginable, unfathomable way. The Christian moral life is our attempt to respond to the gift of this love." Together, we will discover how God calls us to live this moral life to help build the Kingdom of God. Participants will also develop a greater understanding of the role of the catechist/teacher in handing on the Catholic moral tradition.
