RELIGIOUS EDUCATION FOR ADULTS

Father de Rosa hosts a course on the fundamentals of the Catholic Faith that culminates at the Easter Vigil. This course is designed to instruct non-Catholics who are inquiring about the Catholic Faith. However, others are welcome to sign up for ongoing education.

If you know someone who might be interested in becoming a Catholic and wishes to learn more, please have them contact Fr. de Rosa at the office.

The day, dates, and times will be worked out with those interested.

Please include the name of child/children in the Notes on Faith Direct.

The mission of the Religious Education program at Saint Anthony Mission is to assist parents in the formation of their children in their Catholic Faith while striving to instill an abiding love of God and neighbor. We strive to impart to each child the doctrines of our Faith in its fullness, as both knowledge to be learned and a life to be lived.

Currently, we offer weekly classes for kindergarten through sixth grade and Confirmation classes for those in 7th grade and up who need to be confirmed. 

Sacrament Prep classes for First Penance/First Communion are a two-year commitment of:

First Holy Communion Preparation 1 (normally first graders) and 
First Holy Communion Preparation 2 (normally second graders).

Confirmation is celebrated at Saint Anthony in the fall. Students begin the two-year preparation in the fall of seventh grade. Our classes meet weekly the traditional school year. 

All families must be registered members of the parish to enroll their children in RE classes. If you have not yet registered in the parish, please complete a registration form and submit to the Parish office.

A copy of your children’s Baptismal Certificate(s) must be submitted prior to the start of class.

If the fees are a hardship for your family, please contact us and we will make arrangements. All conversations of this nature are kept strictly confidential, and no child is left out of the program due to a financial hardship.

There is an additional $25 Sacrament fee for First Holy Communion and Confirmation Students. 

Please fill out the Registration information below. Registration is not considered complete until payment is received.
