This year, Good Shepherd has implemented a new curriculum called Disciple of Christ, Education in Virtue. This program was developed by the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, and is based on St. Thomas Aquinas’ teachings on the virtues and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Here at Good Shepherd, we are focusing on introducing a new virtue each month. So far, students have studied loyalty. The virtue of the month for October is prayerfulness. Students have been enjoying learning each virtue and demonstrating what it means to be a Disciple of Christ.
