At Kolbe Academy, we emphasize reading original texts, and Sacraments & Church History I fully embraces this by exploring the Bible, early Church Fathers, and key historical writings. Students will study the life of Christ, the Gospel writers’ teachings, and the early Church’s growth, while also learning essential historical events and doctrines. In the second semester, the course focuses on the sacraments, central to incarnational history, using a text that draws from early sources and clearly presents Church teachings. This course provides a rich, classical foundation in Catholic theology and Church history.
