Religious Studies

The Religious Studies Department strives to educate the minds of students and touch their hearts so they develop a mature Catholic faith that will sustain them in their future. Catholic students leave Clearwater Central Catholic with the tools to explain, defend and live their Catholic Faith. Non-Catholic students leave with a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith, with an openness to other religions, with a greater appreciation for their own faith traditions and with profound experience of community.
