Camino is a program of Christ the Redeemer Youth Ministry for students who have already been confirmed and are ready to go deeper. Camino consists of small groups who meet weekly to pray, share, study, and go deeper in their faith. All the Camino groups will come together once a month to pray, share, and for fellowship.

Our Current Camino Groups:

Men's Sunday Night Camino- St. Joseph's Workshop
This group meets on Sunday evenings at 7:00 pm in the Youth Room. The group is led by Mr. Andrew Ponder. 

Andrew received a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University, where he also met his lovely wife Nora.  They have been blessed with 5 children, from a freshman at A&M to a kindergartener.  Andrew works as a research and development engineer for a major oilfield service company.  Beginning in high school, he has lead retreats for high school and college students, been a counselor at The Pines Catholic Camp, been a member of pastoral and stewardship councils and taught infant baptism prep, RCIA, marriage prep and adult faith formation.  Andrew’s goal, under the patronage of St. Joseph, is to share with the young men of CTR the many tools available to fully embrace our Catholic Culture.


Women's Sunday Night Camino
This group meets on Sunday evenings at 7:00 pm in the Youth Room. The group is led by Ms. Tori Wolf.

Hello all! My name is Tori Wolf and I am currently an English teacher at Cypress Ridge HS here in Cypress! I was raised Catholic and have always felt God’s call to teach the youth of this world. I am so grateful that I have been given the opportunity to transfer my calling in the church as well as in the public education setting! This will be my second year working as a Camino leader and I cannot wait to continue to spread the fire of the Lord both in the young ladies I will be working with, as well as my own heart. I truly believe that our faith is a lifelong journey and my hope for this year is that we as a team will be able to find more ways to love God and each other this year! I want to give these young ladies opportunities to take a leadership role in their own faith formation. Thanks and God bless!

Camino FAQ:

Who is it for?

Camino is for those who have received Confirmation and are still looking to be actively involved in a community. Whether you are on fire for your faith or having some difficulty, Camino Groups will help you grow in your faith and will be a great opportunity to connect with others in a similar walk of life as you!

What happens at Camino?

What happens at Camino will depend on your Camino Group. The beautiful thing about Camino is that as a group, you get to decide what area you want to dive deeper into. Maybe you want to learn how to pray with Scripture more. You may want to know more about the Theology of the Body. We could spend our entire lives growing in our faith, Camino allows us to continue to do this in the ways that you want to!

Why should I go?

Camino is a great opportunity to go deeper in your faith. Camino means "The Way" in Spanish. Our lives are a journey to reach our final destination: Heaven. The journey is living the Christian Life. In Acts of the Apostles, the first Christians spoke of The Way, or the Christian Life. Camino will give you the tools and strength you need to leave this community and be able to thrive in your faith. The goal is to help you live the Way of Christ, His Camino.
