Support Our Mission The mission of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School is to: Instill Roman Catholic identity, reverence for the sacraments and a lifelong commitment to joyful discipleship; Enrich students by fostering academic excellence and providing opportunities that nurture and challenge all to reach their full potential; Develop, with parents, the moral compass that guides students to serve with Jesus Christ as their model.

You help us keep our mission alive!

Over the past 16 years, investment from St. Anthony of Padua contributors has made a tremendous impact on student achievement and success. Building a strong stewardship culture provides the school with a competitive advantage and translates into stronger programs, improved facilities and an overall better educational experience for our students. The funds generated through tuition provide us with a school, but additional income generated through advancement initiatives makes our school exceptional and unique.

“We gi ve because we want to be part of the St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School community. We love seeing how our time, talents and treasures are helping the students of St. Anthony's grow in their faith and education.”
