Since 1980, ACPM is an association of catechetical and pastoral ministers in roles of leadership in the Church of Galveston-Houston. Empowered by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we are a people of God, are committed to building the Kingdom of God in our communities by being prophets and visionaries, by sharing our gifts, and by enabling ourselves and others to proclaim and reach for God's Word to all.  We affirm the need to be advocates for and representatives of catechetical and pastoral leaders on parish, diocesan, and national levels through a network of leadership, support, and communication and to call one another to ongoing spiritual and professional growth.
