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,Reconciliation and for First Holy Communion. Nine and Ten grades are preparing for Confimation.
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.
