At St. Anthony of Padua Life Teen we seek to bring teens into relationship with Jesus Christ and with the community.
Those who are seeking Year 1 of Confirmation Preparation, should register for Life Teen and attend Life Nights on Sunday evenings. This will fulfill your Year 1 requirement, allowing your teen to be eligible for Year 2 of Confirmation.
Households (11th-12th)
A Household is made up of a group of Confirmed upperclassmen (11th or 12th grade), guys or girls, who are committed to meeting with their Household brothers or sisters once a week to study the Catholic faith more deeply and learn what it means to live their life as a disciple, being nourished by the Sacraments.
Households meet once a week, and teens can choose the time that best fits their schedule.
Each Household is founded on four major pillars: Prayer, Worship, Study, and Community. These pillars play a significant role in the formation of the Household members each week.
In order to ensure that each teen is committed and aware of what they are signing up for, we ask that the Household Registration Form is filled out by the teen, not by parents.
Registration for Households includes registration for Life Nights at no extra fee. Please indicate whether the teen will attend both programs, or not, so we can accurately assign them to small groups in one or both programs.
Archdiocesan Liability Waiver
The Arch-diocese liability waiver form allows your child to participate in any Youth Ministry (Anchor, EDGE, Life Teen, Confirmation) activities with St. Anthony of Padua from Aug 16, 2019 thru Aug 15, 2020.

4. I am going to volunteer with the faith formation programs, is there anything I need to do?
YES! As part of the Archdiocese’s commitment to ensure the safety of our children, the Archdiocesan Safe Environment Program requires that clergy, staff, and volunteers (ages 18 and above) who have regular contact with children and youth are required to complete the CMG Safe Haven online training program.
This training consists of 3 vignette style training videos that is approximately 90 minutes and will include a criminal background check that must be completed. These trainings are available in English and Spanish. The Diocese will no longer offer live trainings, all Safe Environment trainings will only be available online.
WHO SHOULD BE TRAINED?
St. Anthony of Padua requires all adults volunteering with our parish be in compliance with the Safe Environment qualifications.
HOW DO I ACCESS THE TRAINING MODULES?
• If you have a VIRTUS account: Log into www.CMGConnect.org with your previous personal VIRTUS user id and 1234 as the password. Once logged in you will have the ability to change your password. This is recommended.
• If you do not have a VIRTUS account: Log into www.CMGConnect.org, and follow the instructions. Note: Your legal name (on your driver’s license/passport) is the name that one needs to use when registering. Not doing so may prohibit your information from being processed.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO TAKE THE TRAINING?
You will be required to take the training every 5 years. Please make sure your email address stays up to date at the CMGConnect website since this is how training notifications will be sent. Any questions can be directed to your staff ministry lead. If you are having a problem accessing your account information you can contact our Safe Environment Coordinators.
