Description
The Learn to Discern High School Workbook is designed as a stand-alone unit for Catholic high school students and parish-based Confirmation classes. It introduces students to each vocation using engaging stories, excellent photography, short passages from the Catechism, and carefully-chosen excerpts from the best books on vocations.
The aim of this curriculum supplement is to add a strong emphasis on Catholic vocation discernment to existing religion curricula. The content and assignments are designed to engage students’ imaginations, consider their vocational options in a new way, and gain the spiritual tools needed for a deep and thorough discernment.
