The formation of the Catholic Christian person, who is called to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ, is a task and challenge to Catholic schools and their formators-educators. In the light of Jesus commission to preach the Gospel to all nations and the Charism, Vision-Mission of the congregation

of the Augustinian Sisters of Our Lady of Consolacion (ASOLC), and the Church Magisterium, the Association of Schools of the Augustinian Sisters of our Lady of Consolacion (ASAS) has identified Religion or Christian Living as the CORE subject in its curriculum. Religious Education is envisioned to embrace five basic characteristics:

SCRIPTURE BASED

1. Contextualized - Religious Education in deeply rooted in the faith-life experiences of students and teachers who live in different regions of the Philippines. It thus integrates history, sociology, economic-political, sociocultural, and eco-feminist realities of the world, in general, and the Philippines society, in particular. It believes that the practice of the Christian faith is not isolated from experiences of the community of Jesus discipleships (the Church of the Poor) and the signs of the times.

2. Scripture-based The soul of Christian Religious Education is the person and the message of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, the Son of God, who is the selfmanifestation of God-self. The basic Christian message then is to be taken from the Old and New Testaments which present the foundations and life-story, the words and works of Jesus and the ancient Christian community. The stories of Jesus and the ancient Christian community are normative to the present day Christian s praxis of faith and life.

3. Integrated The three dimensions of the Christian faith, DOCTRINE, MORAL, WORSHIP (DMW) are taken up individually yet in an integrated manner. While each lesson has a definite focus (D or M or W), the other dimensions are integrated with it. This integration aims to unify all the aspects of faith-life realities so as to develop a Whole Christian person.

4. Augustinian The aspects of Augustinian spirituality that are relevant to the modern Christian are integrated in the program. Since the Augustinian Sisters and their schools are inspired by the spirit of great St. Augustine, his life and writings his teachings on the interior life, community life, love and justice are given place.

5. Nationalist As Catholic schools in the Philippines, Religious, Religious education aims to participate in the shaping of the Filipino people s history and life trough formal education. It can contribute to the development of a Filipino consciousness among the students, that would think, judge, choose and act on behalf of the Filipino, especially the poor.

SCRIPTURE BASED

He entered into a special relationship with His chosen people, the race of Abraham, the people of Israel: I will dwell in the midst of the Israelites, and will be their God (Ex. 29:45). He performed great works for His chosen people, and proclaimed their saving power and truth through the prophets words.
