During the season of Lent students and families of St Anthony's Parish school are encouraged to engage in prayer, fasting and almsgiving. The student spirituality team is working with the parish to promote and support the St Vincent de Paul Society food drive, but we need your help. A donation of a non-perishable food or household item will help our local families struggling.

St Vincent de Paul needs items like: cans of soup, ham, tuna, and mixed veg, pasta sauces, tea, coffee, washing detergent, toilet rolls, Vegemite and peanut butter, sweet biscuits etc.

We have also sent home Caritas mission boxes for any loose change you may like to donate to those in need during the season of Lent. If you didn't receive a box or you would like a second one please contact the school or parish office.

Both offerings are greatly appreciated and can be returned to your child's classroom teacher by Thursday 28 March.

In Gratitude,

Mrs Julie Smith (REC) and the Student Spirituality Team
