Catholic Culture Studies Program
We will not hide them from their children,
but tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and His might,
and the wonders which He has wrought.
Psalm 78:4
but tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and His might,
and the wonders which He has wrought.
Psalm 78:4
The Children of the Holy House™ program is Our Lady of Walsingham Institutes of Catholic Culture Studies’ enthusiastic response to the “New Evangelization” - a call issued to the whole Church by Blessed John Paul II.
The courses we offer through the “Holy House” program assist home educators in enriching students’ understanding of their Catholic spiritual and intellectual heritage. The students discover the influence of Catholicism in every aspect of culture through their studies in art, music, languages, science, math, literature, history, nature, philosophy, and in the understanding of mankind’s relation to God. Through these studies, grounded in a balance of faith and reason, they are exposed to truth, goodness, beauty, and well-ordered thinking.
We especially guide the children to develop an awe and wonder of God and all that He is and has done; therefore, the Eucharist is very much at the center of what we do. The students’ growth in love of the Church gives them the courage necessary to be witnesses to the Faith and to be the leaven that is necessary to transform the culture.
Children of the Holy House™ meets one full day a week from September through May. Our classical curriculum, for grades K-12, is challenging and innovative, and we require a pledge of study and courtesy. Parents are actively involved in helping their children complete their lessons during the rest of the week. Our teachers are devoted to the Faith and fully committed to the task of developing and teaching courses that advance the study of Catholic culture. Teachers and parents work as a team to bring out the best in the students. Due to this teamwork, a healthy support network has resulted and there is a consistent effort on the part of everyone to grow in virtue.
Students registered with the Holy House program come from more than 25 zip codes in Houston and surrounding areas. Since 1999, through the generosity and support of the pastor of Our Lady of Walsingham Catholic Church, Holy House has been able to use its parish facilities at 7809 Shadyvilla Lane, Houston, Texas 77055, www.walsingham-church.org.
