Open to students in grades five through twelve, RC Challenge is a unique combination of 16th Century Jesuit pedagogy and the television show “Jeopardy” where students compete in a fast-paced, animated format to demonstrate their knowledge of the Faith, and where they, their peers, parents, coaches, and teachers can rediscover a rich and extensive body of Catholic knowledge. Our contest aims to foster the pursuit of knowledge of the Catholic Faith in students, teachers, and parents. Teams from Catholic Schools, PREP programs, home school, and youth groups are invited once again to take up the call to compete in this action-packed arena. Started by Franciscan Sister Mary John Morriss in the 1980’s, TLA has run the local competition since the late nineties. Students are prepared at school for two competitions offered every fall involving four-member teams from Catholic schools and parishes across the Archdiocese. We also compete in Oregon at the RC Challenge offered in the New Year.
