Happy New Year!!! 🎆🎉

Merry Christmas to all of our St. Anthony's School Family! 🎄❤🌟

During this last week of school in the advent season, Anthony travelled all over bringing tidings of joy to our elementary students. From a collaborative art project to the music room, and reminding us of our gifts and talents, Anthony has brought joy in searching for Jesus this advent season. He said goodbye to students today with a "kiss "promising to keep searching for Jesus and return next year with more messages to share! 💜🌟 #ctrfaith #IBelieveinCatholicEd

Anthony continued his search for Jesus this week! He reminded us of the Trinity, the star that signaled our Saviour’s birth, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and—most importantly—that God cares for us when we believe.
