Who We Are

The Homeschool Ministry at St. Martin de Porres was created to provide support and community to Catholic homeschooling families and those considering the homeschooling vocation in Dripping Springs and surrounding areas.   Our mission is to engage with both fellow homeschoolers and the greater Catholic Community by providing support, information, resources, and activities.

 

To help us along our spiritual journey, we have adopted Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati as the patron saint of our ministry.     “Jesus is with me. I have nothing to fear.”

What We Do

In order to meet the diverse needs of Catholic homeschooling families, we offer a variety of opportunities for engagement. Families may choose to take place in any or all the activities based on the needs they have for their family.

Friday Co-op

The co-op meets regularly from September-May on the 1 ^st and 3^rd Friday of the month. Co-op activities are designed so that the whole family can participate, and a nursery and preschool classroom is available for younger siblings not ready to participate.

Field Trips

All homeschooling families are invited to attend field trips and hear special speakers throughout the year.

Service Projects

All families are encouraged to serve both our church and greater community to demonstrate how to live life in love to God.  As such, a variety of service projects take place throughout the year.

Liturgical Events

As a community, we hope to come together in order to celebrate liturgical events such as All Saints Day, St. Valentine's Day, and St. Joseph's Feast Day.
