Our Religious Education classes are for children in grades K-6. We are pleased to be using the Faith and Life curriculum by Ignatius Press. The series offers a comprehensive, age-appropriate formation in the Catholic Faith. As they say on their website, “The Faith and Life Third Edition series presents Catholic teaching using the time-tested ecclesial methodology and spiral development of catechesis, in a beautiful, student-friendly, comprehensive format.” Classes are one hour 15 minutes long, on Tues. evening at 5:15 pm, or Wed. evening at 6:15 pm; and run from September to May.
Bishop Olson has notified all parishes that there will be no in person religious education through the spring semester. Religious education will continue through Zoom classes. Thank you for your patience.
Registration for 2020-2021 Elementary religious education is now closed. Please call (817) 623-2409 for assistance.
The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life”, we learn in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. What a joy as parents and as a parish to bring our children to this intimate union with Our Lord Jesus Christ! At SEAS, we are happy and privileged to assist the parents in introducing their children to Jesus in this Blessed Sacrament.
We are looking for volunteers to teach our Catholic Faith to all ages. If you would like to explore the opportunities, take a minute to fill out our Catechist/ Aide Volunteer Form. We'll contact you to discuss how you'd like to help, and answer any questions! You can also call us in the Religious Education Office at (817) 623-2409.

To allow parents to focus and participate more fully in the Mass, we provide an onsite safe and caring environment for little ones ranging in age from 1 year (or walking) through age 3 at the 9:00 and 11:00 Masses on Sunday mornings, and the 9:00 Mass on Wednesday mornings during the school year when it is attended by students at SEAS School. Children generally attend Mass with their parents when they are age 4 or older.
The SEAS nursery is located in the Parish Hall (the brick building located right next to the church). Enter through the doors that face Willis Lane, and the nursery is on the immediate right before entering the main room of the Parish Hall.

Each summer, we have a joyful week of Vacation Bible School for children ages Pre-K -5th grades. We have had over 350 children participate, and over 100 adult and teen volunteers leading them in song and dance, Bible study, crafts, and outdoor games.
While we were unable to have VBS last summer, because of Covid-19, we are hoping to gather again this coming summer. VBS usually takes place in the 2nd or 3rd week of June. The week before, the volunteers work together preparing, doing fun decorating, and getting to know each other. We hope to see you this summer for great fun and fellowship!
