Religion Department

The goal of the Religion Department at Melbourne Central Catholic is to foster within our students spiritual growth, through a personal relationship with Jesus, which is strengthened by academic instruction, deepened by experiences of prayer and sacramental celebration, enriched by Apostolic service, and guided by principles of Catholic morality. 

The religion curriculum forms the backbone for the moral and personal development of each MCC student. Required as a part of the course of study for each of the four years, the curriculum leads the students through an exploration of foundational doctrines about God and the Church, the development of moral principles from these, and understanding how the faith is lived in a personal way.
