A PARISH OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF CHEYENNE

Religious Education

Parents are the primary and most important educators of their children. They are charged with the responsibility of the total care of their children; they have the awesome duty of teaching their children not only the fundamentals of everyday living but also of imparting to them the knowledge of God and God's love for them through our Catholic faith. They are helped in this task by the Church which makes available for this purpose dedicated teachers equipped with classroom materials which are age-appropriate to the child's understanding.

Religious Education Program

The Religious Education Program of St. Anthony's Parish is dynamic and growing. For 2024-2025, classes will begin on October 2 as follows:
