Syllabus
This required course is designed to challenge the students with the questions
of Christian vocations and of a calling to a lifestyle. In light of Gospel values
and Salesian spirituality, the student is presented with the vocational possibilities
open to him in today’s world. He is assisted in discerning and naming
his own gifts and accepting his weakness as he is called to respond generously
and lovingly to God’s call in Jesus Christ. The student will be guided
to examine personal identity, relationship, sexuality and chastity, intimacy,
communication, and love as components of all vocations and lifestyles.
The class meets in room C144, which is in the Chapel corridor.
