Welcome

Welcome to the Catholic Community of St. Anthony de Padua School!

For almost 60 years, families who value academic excellence grounded in faith have chosen St. Anthony de Padua Catholic School. Our patron saint's words echo in our daily work:

“Actions speak louder than words; let your words teach and your actions speak.”

At St. Anthony de Padua School we are dedicated to developing life-long learners who live their faith through stewardship, committed to Catholic values and academic excellence. We are proud of our students, our teachers, our families -- the traditions that reflect our past and the spirit that embraces our future. We invite you to become a part of St. Anthony de Padua Catholic School!

Faith

At St. Anthony de Padua, our Catholic faith is the foundation for all that we do. Our school community incorporates the principles of our faith into everyday decision making, giving our students the opportunity to develop the strong moral, ethical, and spiritual values essential for future leaders of our community.

The value of prayer in our daily lives is reinforced by scripture study, class retreats and prayer services. Students also participate in weekly Mass, sharing their gifts with each other and the faith community through their involvement as lectors, cantors, servers, musicians, and choir members.

As part of our curriculum, St. Anthony students prepare for and receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation.

Service is an important component of our faith mission. We strive to create an awareness of the world around us, cultivating the growth of compassion as our students offer service to their local, national and world community. In addition to many other service efforts, St. Anthony sponsors a chapter of the Young Vincentians service organization. You'll find St. Anthony students, from Kindergarten through 8^th Grade, actively living stewardship through their involvement in the Christ Child Society, Logan Center, area food pantries, and numerous other projects.
