“I am the Good Shepherd; I know my own and my own know me”. John 10:14"
In Branch 3, Galilee to Jerusalem, pupils will explore the Gospel of St. John, focusing on the seven miraculous signs. They will make connections between each sign and key Christian beliefs about Jesus, including how these signs reveal that he is both truly God and truly human. Pupils will also learn about the seven sacraments of the Catholic faith, understanding the purpose of each sacrament in the life of the Church.
As they study, pupils will discover the roles of the deacon, priest, or bishop in administering these sacraments and why these leaders are essential to sacramental celebrations. Through reflection, they will consider how the seven signs in John’s Gospel speak to them both literally and spiritually, deepening their understanding of faith and the sacraments.
