  Interactive Virtue Tree
  
  A virtue is the habit of doing good, making it both natural and delightful. A virtuous person is truly free. Christian virtues free us from being controlled by temptation and vice. While everyone is born with the capacity for virtue, education and practice are needed to grow into the freedom, harmony, and balance of a virtuous, excellent person. Learn more about virtue by using the Virtue Tree.

In a shared desire to compile and supply an all-encompassing source for ‘echoing’ the doctrines of the Faith, the Sisters have accomplished their long-held desire to transmit the catechetical teaching approach from reputable catechist, Barbara Morgan, finally presenting in one place, her decades-long teaching method of the keys to the doctrines.
