  The Office of Adolescent Catechesis and Evangelization (OACE) serves the Catholic youth ministry in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston! Our mission is simple yet powerful: to form adolescents into lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ.
  
  We provide parishes with everything they need – leadership formation, transformative programs, and essential resources – to create engaging environments where teens can deepen their faith.
