Parents,
We continue to remain in prayer for our Antonian community. We want to thank everyone for their understanding and patience during our testing today. Our staff was hard at work with ensuring the health and safety of our students.
With that, we know voting season is underway and we hope we can count on your vote for one of our student athletes - visit our social media pages to click on the link to vote!
With the start of a new admissions season, it is more important than ever that we find new ways to highlight our community. To that end, if you have not liked or followed our social media pages on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, please do so.
If you find a posting that you enjoy, please feel free to share on your social media page - it costs nothing and opens the platform for others to see what we do for our students and community.
As always, we stand together as one, and wish you continued blessings.
Blessings,
Mason Finch
Director of Communications

In Memoriam: Joseph Erevelles |
Yesterday, we shared the sad news that Antonian senior Joseph Erevelles, went to be with our Lord. We invite our community to join us as we remember Joseph and celebrate his life.
We will be holding a Rosary service on Sunday, October 18th at 7:00 p.m. on the football field. We ask for continued prayers for the Erevelles family.
In your hands, O Lord we humbly entrust our brother, Joseph Anthony Erevelles.
In this life you embraced him with your tender love; deliver him now from every evil and bid him eternal rest. Welcome him into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with your son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen

Service Hours
A total of 100 hours of service is required for graduation. Students will go through an orientation for the service hour component at the beginning of the school year. Hours completed in the summer 2020 will apply to the 2020-2021 school year.
Normally, each grade level will be assigned a particular focus area. Because of the challenges COVID-19 creates for participating in traditional forms of service, we are making a temporary change to this practice. Students from any grade level will be able to complete their service hours in any of the following three focus areas:
The Hungry and Homeless
The Sick, the Elderly, and the Disabled
Teaching the Disadvantaged
