Religious Education Philosophy
"As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied Grace" (1st Letter of St. Peter 4:10).
The Office of Religious Education was created to provide opportunities for families to fully participate in the parish life of St. Anthony Church. Educators, parents, children and teenagers are partners in faith formation with the Catholic Church. Through our active participation in Religious Education Programs, we come to a greater understanding of the need for forming a community in faith, gathering as one community to celebrate liturgy and reaching out to embrace the treasure of parish life. When we remember and respond to our faith community, we become good stewards because we recognize God as the origin of life, the giver of freedom and the source of all good things.
