LEARNING CONTENTS:
God created all things, (world and the human persons). They were in “paradise” which means, there
was harmony, justice, peace, and joy. Despite the very good conditions of life that they were in, the first
human beings (“Adam” and “Eve”) still committed sin.

Apostles/Disciples
Jerusalem Rome (Roman Empire World) Whole world
Sacrament: means channel, representative, visible sign of an invisible reality
GOD JESUS CHURCH
The Sacrament of God is Jesus and the Sacrament of Jesus is the Church (John 20:21, Acts 1:8)
The Church started as a religious renewal “movement”/group in Jerusalem, Israel by no other than Jesus Christ. Jesus
grounded the Church on the foundation of the Apostles and it spread from Jerusalem to the Roman Empire world until
throughout all the earth.
The first “name” of the Church was The Way (Acts 9:2), the members of the Church were called Christians in Antioch
(Acts 11: 26). The Church was persecuted by the Roman Empire (which was still pagan) until the Conversion of the
Emperor Constantine in 313 AD which paved the way for Christians to infiltrate Rome until Christianity was declared as the
official religion of the Roman Empire in 380 A.D by Emperor Theodosius.
Way back in 45 A.D, the first apostle who went to Rome and started the Church there was no other than Peter .
Later, reflecting on the mission of Jesus which He passed on to the Church, the Church’s official “name” or title evolved into:
One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic.
From the Church developed the Hierarchy (Bishops, priests, and deacons – with the Pope as the overall head for
the sake of division of work and maintaining the unity of the Church while it spreads the Kingdom of God on earth.
From the Church comes the different “kinds” of priests according to spirituality or mission area.
a. DIOCESAN
- a term use for priests serving their local places;
b. MONKS

started in the 3rd century AD in Egypt and in Syria with a life of simplicity or asceticism. Monks who are composed
of sisters (not priests) only came out later. Example of few monks in Cagayan who are sisters are those at the St. Claire
monastery in Iguig.
c. MISSIONARIES
- are group/community of priests who really want to go to serve remote places not yet evangelize.
Examples of missionaries are the following:
c.1. The Dominicans who was founded by St. Dominic in Prouille, France in 1216. (Dominic was a Spanish
priest).
c.2. The Augustinians which started in 1244 in Italy (group or no specific founder).
c.3. The Jesuits or called Society of Jesus who was founded in 1540 by Ignatius of Loyola, formerly a Spanish
soldier who became priest.
c.4. The CICM and other missionary groups only came out later.
The CICM was founded by a diocesan priest Theophile Verbist in 1862 in Scheut, Anderlecht, Brussels,
Belgium. CICM is just one of the missionary groups which is an arm of the Church for evangelization.
One of the strategies for missionaries to evangelize people especially the youth to prepare them to become also
evangelizers in the future is to establish schools. With this, the missionary schools and even in the schools established by
the local Church, the core of the curriculum is the Christian Faith Education of the young (children to college). In a wider
sense, the Christian formation of the Community who are in the school. The CICM established schools for such purpose.
Here at the University of Saint Louis, our motto for us to always remember this is “Mission and Excellence” and among the
core values of our University’s Vision-Mission, the first is Christian Living.
