Coming School Year 2007/2008
“Theology of the Body for Teens: Discovering God’s Plan For Love and Life”

The Respect Life Education Office is conducting a pilot for this new high school chastity curriculum, co-authored by Jason and Crystalina Evert and Brian Butler.

This curriculum is based on Pope John Paul II's revolutionary teaching, Theology of the Body, and gives a very positive message of the gift of sexuality as a good and essential part of love and life. It will provide your teens with the knowledge and understanding they desire concerning the meaning and purpose of our human sexuality.

Every day teens are thinking about their sexuality as they search for meaning in their lives. Now there is a curriculum for Catholic teenagers based on the Theology of the Body that helps them understand the significance of their sexuality and the purpose of their lives.

Theology of the Body for Teens answers questions such as:

  • Why did God give us our sexual desires?
  • What is the difference between love and lust?
  • What does our sexuality teach us about God?
  • Can Christ bring healing to me if I've already "messed up"?
  • What is the "language of the body" and how do I "speak" it?
  • How can I discover my vocation?
  • How far is "too far"?
  • How can teens remain pure in our oversexed culture?
  • Does waiting for sex make marriages stronger?
  • Is there any hope for overcoming lust and pornography?
