Is God calling you to be a Catechist?
We are in need of Catechists for the next school year. Catechists are ordinary people, just like you, who generously volunteer their time to share our Catholic faith, values, and traditions with our younger generations. If you are interested in helping out with the youth program, please contact Andrea at youthformation@stanthonyprospect.org, or by phone at 203-758-4848, ext. 19.

Catholic Question Corner
Why do we believe in God?
Reality requires an ultimate explanation that does not need to be explained by anything else. This ultimate explanation (God) must be infinite. God alone contains all knowledge and power. God must be all-good because, although he lacks nothing, evil is just an absence of good.
Do you have a question about our Catholic Faith?
