The goal and philosophy of the Theology department at Nashua Catholic is to inform, form and transform our students and how they live, with the meaning and ethic of the Christian faith. We are committed to this goal alongside our parents, who are the primary educators of their child’s faith.  Our curriculum adheres closely to the Diocese of Manchester guidelines and the framework for our curriculum is deeply embedded in the four basic components of the Catholic tradition: faith, worship (sacraments), moral life, and prayer. Theology classes meet every day at Nashua Catholic and are a recognized discipline within the school curricula.

The Nashua Catholic theology department consists of three secular Franciscans who willingly share and model the Franciscan spirit of “living simply and loving deeply.” The month of October is dedicated to the teachings and philosophies of St. Francis.

Our school community prays together at monthly liturgies, celebrated by our school chaplain, Fr. Aggie Jean, who is the pastor of St. John Neumann Parish in Merrimack, NH. Our students are fortunate to have exposition of the Blessed Sacrament several times throughout the school year, and can participate within individual theology class service projects or our school wide service club.  The very first Faith Day came to fruition in 2012 during Catholic Schools Week, where we celebrated our faith through educational classes, visiting lecturers, prayer, and artwork.
