Classes continue via video and on-line this weekend. Throughout January we will be using the Created to Love curriculum. This addresses the dignity of human life, Catholic morality, healthy relationships, positive decision-making, and the sacramentality of marriage. Created to Love also incorporates elements of child protection training in an age-appropriate way.
This week, we will address the challenges of Decision Making. While throughout the fall, we deferred to the “See—Judge—Act” model of decision making, we will be refining that processes some more to looking towards seeking God’s will and plan within decisions as well as a process in which to consult with others.
Let's just begin thinking about the decisions that we make. Keep this worksheet open as you watch the first video.
