With this course, we will explore what the Catholic Intellectual Tradition has artic- ulated as the art of living, as the true path to happiness. e course is a comprehensive presentation of the classical worldview for ethics, understood as the teleological pursuit of happiness through the acquisition and practice of the natural and supernatural virtues. e course will be taught from the standpoint of both nature with the philosophers, preeminently articulated by Artistotle, and, this being the natural founda- tion to the grace lled life of Christ in the soul, supernature with the Church, preeminently ar- ticulated by St. omas Aquinas. It is meant to propose to the students a dierent understand- ing of the moral life than that of modernity and then systematically march through each aspect of such, detailing what each is and how all are interrelated, so that the student comes to understand that there is a rationally intel- ligible cra to life that will fulll their telos. We will also briey review our modern moral culture at the end of the course to understand the repercussions that come from rejecting this classical worldview. More broadly speaking, the overarching intent of the course is to examine what it means to think and act like a rational human being, and subsequently the same as it concerns the life of Christ in the soul for the grace lled Catholic. e material will be taught at the introductory level in a manner accessible to all levels of student – no prior philosophical or theological training is necessary.

"The Archdiocese (of Denver) has just done a beautiful job with making something beautiful and making it more beautiful," said Diane Irby, director of religious edu- cation for the parish in Broomfi eld. Some 160 children in fi rst-eighth grades and about 92 youth in seventh-12th-grades gathered for the program oŒ ered at par- ishes across the archdiocese and nation. Totus Tuus ("Totally Yours") is a time for faith formation, prayer, friendship and fun led by youth and St. John Vianney Theological Seminary men studying for the priesthood. "It's big here," Irby said. "Now that the seminary is taking it over, it's just so good. The kids just learn about their faith in such an enjoyable way." The parish's former pastoral commu- nications associate, Jacquie Fankell, also witnessed the community coming together for the youth program that joins children who attend Nativity School, are enrolled in religious education or are homeschooled. The program includes daily Mass and confession, skits and games and lessons from youth leaders on the faith. The track for older youth includes an hour of eucharistic adoration. The youths end the program with a water fi ght and bonfi re. "They just learn a lot," Irby said. "Every- thing was beautiful this year."
