Religion

Religion class at Louis St. Laurent has been a positive experience for me.  The class discussions are always engaging and fun, no matter what your beliefs are.   This is a class that gives me a greater understanding about the teachings of the Catholic church and my belief system.  Students also have opportunities to participate in social justice activities and support the wider Edmonton community.  This might include volunteering at food banks or seniors' homes.   I highly recommend the religion classes.

Senior High

All students attending Edmonton Catholic High Schools must take Religious Studies courses. They must attain 9 credits in order to participate in the graduation exercises organized by the school. All Religious Education courses are available for three credits and have no prerequisites, meaning they can be taken in any order. One component of the Program of Studies is Christian Action. This provides an opportunity for students to become involved in some volunteer service and reflect upon this experience in light of the Gospel. As part of Religious Studies 15/25/35, each student requires a minimum 10 hours of Christian Action Service by the end of the Semester. A maximum of 5 of these hours may be completed within the walls of the school, with a minimum of an additional 5 hours being completed outside of school, in the greater Edmonton community.
