Stewardship intention cards were mailed in October to all Parish Families. As you are aware, this is one of three stewardship requirements that must be completed each year to maintain your Scholarship and to be eligible next year your intention card must be returned. It is imperative that you return your Intention Cards as soon as possible. As we are heading into the new year it is also a good time to review your Mass attendance and Service hour status. If you have any questions where you currently stand you can email Jim Kenney and he will check our Parish records. His email is jimkenneyiii@gmail.com.

Every year St. Anthony’s participates in the Elks National Hoop Shoot Free Throw Contest. This is a great opportunity for the students to exhibit their talents for shooting free throws and, maybe, compete on a National basis. The contest is split into different age levels. We had 5 students who were our school level winners; these students went to Wilson Elementary to compete. Jimena Carrillo Beau Simmons Kamden Pierce Cooper Abell Nick Stoner I would like to recognize Beau Simmons, who advanced on to the next round of competition. Beau shot 15 out of 15 free throws. We wish Beau the best of luck in the next round!
