Open Gym
Once a month the St. Anthony gym is open for preschoolers to run and play with a parent or guardian. If you need somewhere to take the kids to run off some energy this is the place for you! Come to St Anthony’s new gym from 9:30 - 11:00am for some fun indoor playtime. Please enter and sign in at the school office. A parent or guardian must stay in the gym while your kids play. No street shoes please! Gym shoes (as long as they have not been worn outside) socks or slippers are fine. You are welcome to bring a snack and eat at the tables in the lobby by the gym.

Children's Liturgy of the Word
Just before the Liturgy of the Word begins for the assembly, children will be invited to go with the leaders from the church into either the Daily Mass Chapel or the Resource Room. They will return to their families after the Prayers of the Faithful. During this special time, the children through prayers, songs and readings learn about the same Scriptures as the rest of the assembly. September - May.
O Come Little Children
One Sunday in December after the 9:00 Mass families gather for breakfast, singing Christmas carols, making a Christmas decoration as a family, decorating cookies and hearing the Christmas story.
Watch for future dates.

A Mother's Prayer to the Blessed Mother
Dear Blessed Mother Mary, you knew the importance of being prayerful and also of being attentive to one's family.
Please teach me how to do both well.
Please deepen my relationship with your son, Jesus.
Because my vocation of motherhood keeps me very involved with the task at hand, please give me reminders as I go about my day to raise my heart and mind to God often, asking for help and grace, as well as offering deep gratitude.
Please keep my family under your powerful protection.
Amen.
