What makes Religious Studies unique? Christian Ethics taught in Public Schools In Separate Schools, it is constantly used through the permeation of subject areas

Faith Permeation What is it? Permeation refers to the infusing of something into another so closely that at one point in the process the two, initially distinguishing elements, become one. The permeation of faith throughout the provincial curriculum is critical to the distinctiveness of Catholic Education in Saskatchewan.

“You could write them into the curriculum, but a lot of it is just seizing the moment and sharing our own spirituality with students. I would not recommend making everything we do into a religion lesson -- we can get into "overkill" where kids are concerned, but we can make religion a more conscious element of instruction as well.” Sr. Miriam Kaeser, OSF. Ed.D. Assistant Superintendent Catholic Schools Office Archdiocese of Cincinnati
