For parish families whose children do not attend St. Anthony de Padua School, we offer Religious Education (grades 1-8).  Parents have the unique gift given to them by God to pass on the faith to their children. We seek to help families in this great task.  Our program is committed to helping children foster a relationship with Jesus and His Church so that they can experience His love, peace, and true joy their whole life.  Learn more.

For older children between the ages of 8 and 18 who need baptism and/or other Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation), we offer RCIC: Rite of Christian Initiation for Children. Learn more.

If you are 18 years or older and have not received the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation), we offer RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation). Learn more.
