All 10 Religious Studies courses at Mater Dei have been developed in accord with the Doctrinal Elements of a Curriculum Framework set forth by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
 
Over their four years in the Religious Studies program, students have the opportunity to explore Scripture, reflect on the moral teachings of Jesus Christ, understand the importance of being of service to others, and develop a sensitivity for people of other faith traditions.
