We are pleased to announce that St. Anthony's will be hosting our annual All Saints Day Mass on Wednesday 1 November. All around the world, Catholics come together to honour the saints of the church on this special day. We would like to extend a warm invitation to all parents and carers to join us for this significant event.

The Mass will take place in the school hall at 10 am and some selected students from Year 1 will be reading The Prayers of the Faithful. It's a wonderful opportunity for our school community to come together and celebrate this important day, reflecting on the lives and contributions of the saints.

We hope to see you there to share in this spiritually enriching experience. Your presence is greatly valued as we come together in faith and unity.

Date: Wednesday 1 November
Time: 10:00 am
Location: School Hall

Father Peter will welcome parents, carers, families, parishioners, students and staff from selected classes to join him for a Mass every second week. On Tuesday 14 November at 9:30 am Mass will be held by Year 1R and Kinder White with Year 6W joining them to celebrate. 

Sacramental Programs

Religious Education is a priority in Catholic schools. It provides the knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith and outlines what is needed to live a Catholic life. Sacramental programs are Parish based, Parish coordinated, family focused and school supported.

Each year the Sacraments of Penance, Eucharist and Confirmation are celebrated in the Parish.

A Parish based program caters to the needs of all participants. In this way children from all schools receive the same preparation for each sacrament.

The Parish based, family focused approach to Sacramental programs is widely used throughout Australia as the preferred approach. This approach acknowledges the important role of parents and families in the whole preparation process. Parents are the first educators of children in the faith and traditions of the Catholic Church. Parents involvement in Sacramental preparation is crucial in shaping the values and attitudes of each child. So it is vital, for the continual spiritual growth of the child, that the families involve themselves in the Sacramental life of Parish.
