TH 226 - The Sacraments

This course situates a study of the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church within Sacred Tradition. The course specifically examines them through the lens of the Second Vatican Council’s renewed call to all the baptized to become holy and to witness to Christ in the world. It views the sacraments as personal encounters with the living God, allowing us to cultivate a relationship with Him and animating our engagement “in the world.”

Assignment Overview
  • Assignments: Varied throughout the term
  • Interactivity: Discussion Boards


Course Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

  • Explain the Trinitarian and Christological aspects of the seven sacraments.
  • Demonstrate the ecclesiological and sacramental worldview of Vatican II.
  • Explain the essential rite and the exterior elements of the seven sacraments.
  • Articulate the proper disposition for the fruitful reception of the seven sacraments, and explain the particular sacramental graces for each of the seven sacraments.
  • Apply knowledge of the sacraments and living the sacramental life to the practical aspects of life as a witness to Christ in the world.
