Children's Ministry
Children's Formation
A program for children, Kindergarten through Grade 5, our Faith Formation classes focus on the baptismal call to become followers of Jesus Christ. With an emphasis on Scripture and the traditions of the Catholic faith, students participate in the community's worship, prayer and service to others.
Parents, the first and best teachers in the faith, are supported by catechists working in partnership with them in the religious education of their children. Love of Christ and the Church, frequent reception of the Sacraments, prayer, and service are encouraged as parents fulfill the obligation to their children in the promises made at baptism.
Adult volunteers are needed as catechists (teachers and co-teachers), substitute catechists and assistants to help with planning, publicizing or arranging activities.
Classroom Sessions
K to 5th grades
Our curriculum is the Faith & Life series by Ignatius Press. This program provides a basic foundation of faith and the love of Jesus Christ, through which students respond to God’s call in prayer, mercy, and justice. Students are taught by trained volunteers that include teachers, parents, grandparents and Confirmed teens. We ask that all parents are involved in some way, whether it is as a teacher, teacher assistant, substitute, parent helper, or hall monitor.
Classes are offered on the following days and times, and our calendar generally follows the Conroe ISD school calendar.
Sunday 2:30 -3:45 PM
Sunday 4:15 – 5:30 PM
Monday 5:30 – 6:45 PM

Homeschool Formation
1st to 8th grades
Homeschool is parent-led formation. This program is an online version of the Faith & Life series by Ignatius Press, offering unique and engaging content. It provides a basic foundation of faith and the love of Jesus Christ, through which students respond to God’s call in prayer, mercy, and justice.
The online version is available to view on any device and includes a Parent Guide to assist you in leading discussions with your child, furthering their understanding of the material. Our program includes a required in-person Parent Meeting in September to pick up course information.
Amazing Grace
1st to 12th grades
Amazing Grace is a faith formation ministry to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to children with Adaptive Needs in 1st through 12th grade. "Our belief is that no one, regardless of physical or cognitive abilities, should be kept from opportunities of inclusion in faith formation, sacramental preparation, and fellowship with others."
This program is designed for the specific needs of each child. We look forward to meeting with you to learn how we can include your son or daughter in a class. Session times are Sundays at 2:30pm or Mondays at 5:30pm. Parents are required to shadow their child during each session.
