Discover the Newly Updated Venture Program

Venture helps kids encounter Jesus through imaginative activities demonstrating applications of the Gospel message. Fully revised for 2026–2027, the program introduces doctrine that is directly related to the Gospel theme and challenges young learners to ponder the Church's teachings.

Designed for parishes, schools, and families, Venture invites our fourth- to sixth-grade children to recognize God’s love in their everyday lives—one Gospel at a time.
