Pre-K4 - Grade 5

Elementary faith formation 

Elementary Formation encompasses children in Pre-K4 through Grade 5. We welcome the opportunity to help your children grow in their faith through Faith Formation. 

Early Childhood Formation: Pre-K4
Early Childhood Formation uses Allelu! published by Our Sunday Visitor. The program consists of weekly lessons and activities organized around the four big ideas listed under Elementary Formation. Weekly take-home pages are distributed for family discussion and prayer.

Elementary Formation: Graders K-5
Elementary Faith Formation uses the Christ in Us series from Sadlier Religion. The program is adapted to the new curriculum formatted by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston that focuses on lifelong learning and forming Disciples in Christ.  This curriculum follows a scope and sequence organized around four big ideas: “Who Is Jesus Christ?”; “How Do We Get to Know and Love Jesus Christ?”; “How does Jesus Christ Teach Us to Live a Moral Life?”; and “How Are We Called to Become Missionary Disciples of Jesus Christ?”.   Occasionally, there will be take home materials for family discussion and prayer.
