This paper discusses the significance of “re-contextualization” of Christian dogmas on God, Christ and Grace which has implications to Catholic religious education. The Catholic Church has been faithful in adhering to dogmas because they are really based on the personal and communal experiences of the people of God. The paper utilized qualitative research methods to content analyze the Church documents and other publications about dogmas. Findings revealed that dogmas form part of the Catholic Church’s life. However, implications for Catholic religious education are strategies on how to teach dogmas in the context of students so that they may live a full Christian life of doctrine, morals, and worship. Hence, it can be concluded that Christian dogmas must always be the center of Catholic religious education.
