Theology

Theology Department Philosophy

The American Catholic Bishops' pastoral letter on education outlines the educational mission of the Church as an integrated ministry embracing development of faith, building of community, and learning of service.

The Theology Department of the Academy of Holy Angels seeks to develop this model of religious education and learning of service.

Every student at AHA takes a Theology course each day, every trimester of the year. We invite students at appropriate development levels to an awareness of church heritage, the gospel call to personal holiness, and the challenge of transforming the world into the kingdom of justice and peace.
