Christian Formation Ministries: Forming us in Christ's Light

St. Anthony de Padua Catholic School is the first ministry of formation in our Parish. Since opening our doors in 1949, St. Anthony de Padua Catholic School has been committed to three principles: academic excellence, providing a warm and welcoming community, and nurturing Catholic virtues in our students to reflect the light of Christ.

Maintaining these traditions while embracing innovation has allowed St. Anthony Catholic School to remain beloved by students and parents for over half of a century. Learn more about our amazing school.

RCIA: Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

RCIA is the process established for individuals to become Catholic and receive the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion). If you are curious about the Catholic Faith or want to brush up on Church teaching, join us for RCIA. Learn more.

RCIA Sponsor

A sponsor provides spiritual and personal support to an adult who is seeking Baptism or becoming a Catholic Christian. This ministry is open to adult parishioners willing to share their spiritual and personal formation experience. Attendance at all RCIA sessions and applicable Rites is important. Learn more.

We like to celebrate around here! We need a team to coordinate celebrations after sacraments and special liturgies, including First Holy Communion, Confirmation, the Easter Vigil, and even baptisms.

The St. Anthony de Padua Lending Library offers a variety of Catholic books and DVDs for all parishioners. Many topics that educate and encourage us in our faith journey are available. Categories include: The Bible, Church History,  Apologetics, Marian Devotion, Saints and Heroes of the Faith, and more. Come peruse the collection and get inspired!

If you have spiritual books that you would like to share with your fellow parishioners, or if you are interested in helping to maintain order regarding the circulation and re-shelving of books, consider volunteering with this ministry.
