Holy and Sacred Conduct i Introduction Education is not just about developing the intellect but also about forming the heart in the light of Christ. This book, Reinforcing Good Manners in Everyday Life: Holy and Sacred Conduct, is designed to guide Grade 5 students in living out Christian values through Good Manners and Right Conduct (GMRC) and Christian Living Education (CLE). By harmonizing these two subjects, this book teaches students how to act with responsibility, compassion, and integrity while deepening their faith in Jesus Christ. At the heart of this book is Jesus, the perfect model of holiness and love, who invites each student to follow Him.

The Catechism teaches that “the dignity of the human person is rooted in his creation in the image and likeness of God” (CCC 1700). By knowing themselves and recognizing their gifts, they are inspired to use them for God’s glory. Quarter 2: Strengthening Family and Spiritual Life • GMRC: Family’s Role in Nurturing Good Habits • CLE: Spiritual Life – Deepening One’s Relationship with God through Prayer and Sacraments Students reflect on the role of family in shaping good values and habits.
