Catholic Studies 30

(a)	Discuss the mystery of the Holy Spirit using experiences and teachings such as: Holy Spirit as third person of the Trinity Holy Spirit in key moments of Jesus' life (e.g., Annunciation, conception, baptism by John, ministry of Jesus, Paschal Mystery) Holy Spirit in one's life and the Church (e.g., grace; Sacraments; the sense of the faithful; Magisterium; one holy, Catholic, apostolic Church; Church councils and synods) Holy Spirit in society (e.g., revealed in beauty; influencing feminine theological discourse; guiding organizations such as Society of St. Vincent de Paul, The Catholic Women's League of Canada, Knights of Columbus).
(b)	Represent ways the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit may be expressed in one's life (e.g., represent through class projects, digital formats, arts expressions).
(c)	Describe ways the Holy Spirit affects individuals, groups, institutions and society (e.g., hearing, heeding, indifference, rejection).
(d)	Research individuals who, although flawed and marginalized in their time, have now been recognized by the Church as having been guided by the Holy Spirit (e.g., Saint Mary McKillop, Mary Ward, Saint Mother Teresa, Dorothy Day, Catherine Doherty, Blessed Oscar Romero, Saint Kateri Tekakwitha).
(e)	Describe ways the "new evangelization" raises awareness about the role of the Holy Spirit in contemporary life (e.g., conveying Catholic messages through websites, podcasts, videos, graphic novels, modernized traditional hymns, praise and worship music, films).
(f)	Create a representation to show how individuals, the Church and society can be drawn into community through the Holy Spirit (e.g., artistic, written, verbal, digital).
(g)	Investigate what individuals and institutions have said about the influence of the Holy Spirit on their lives and work, including topics such as: cultural infusion (e.g., First Nations, Polish, or Filipino culture within the Latin Catholic church; Ukrainian Catholic church; Chaldean Catholic church) ecclesial traditions (e.g., local and international pilgrim events or religious art) such as: Saskatchewan pilgrimages to the Shrine of St. Laurent or the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in St. Peter's Colony and the artwork of Father Henry Metzger international pilgrimages to World Youth Day or famed pilgrim trails such as the Camino de Santiago (i.e., Way of St. James) local religious art in Saskatchewan churches such as the dome of St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton painted by Stephen Meush and Our Lady of Sorrows Church decorated by Count Berthold Von Imhoff in Paradise Hill international religious art in churches throughout the world such as St. Sophia's Cathedral in Kiev and Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris religious movements (e.g., L'Arche, Madonna House, Focolare Movement, Knights of Columbus, Catholic Women's League, Catholic boys and girls clubs such as Conquest or Challenge).
