Part A I completed a week of observation in St Kathryn’s national school*(pseudonym) in County Galway. The school’s patronage is Roman Catholic and the school is situated in a rural town.

From a young age, Catholic values and morals were instilled in me by my parents and other family members and I did not seem to have any other choice besides blindly obeying.

When it came to their differences, they ranged from minor to more contrasting…

Our world’s major religions all profess to be based in love and peace. Each religion observes a higher power or several higher powers that they believe are all knowing, omnipotent, and authoritative over mankind.
