Religious Education is our formation program for children in Kindergarten up to 8th grade. Classes are on Wednesday evenings in the parish hall classrooms. Class time is 6 PM-7 PM.
We use an approved curriculum to ensure that our children are taught all aspects of the Catholic faith. Children in second grade are prepared for Penance and Reconciliation. Children in second grade are prepared for First Holy Communion.
In accord with the Safe Environment policies of our parish and of the Diocese of Corpus Christi, children are taught age appropriate lessons every year from a curriculum called the Circle of Grace. This teaches children about human dignity and the respect of that dignity in themselves and in others. It also helps children to understand safe and unsafe touch and what to do should they feel threatened or uncomfortable by anyone's words or actions. The lessons in this curriculum adhere to civil law and to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
For the convenience of our parishioners, we have a concession stand that opens at 5:15 PM and closes around 7:15 PM. Every Wednesday there is a featured home-cooked meal such as hamburgers, or beef tacos, or enchiladas, etc. In addition to the meal, candies, snacks, popcorn, drinks, and on occasion home baked goods are sold.
