Weekly Walk into Deep Faith

Our online faith formation

Every week Mike Gormley will give a lecture on the topic of faith and reason live to high school students. These videos will be made available the following week, alongside articles, quizzes, and more to help you know and love the God of Catholic Christianity.

St. Anthony's high school students should watch the videos with their parents, read the articles, and upon finishing this online curriculum, will get a certificate of completion. This is required for all Year 1 and Year 2 Confirmation students.
