Homecoming 2020

Antonian Homecoming is scheduled on November 6 as the Apache football team plays Concordia Lutheran School. 

Antonian administration is meeting to determine whether it is feasible to host the traditional alumni Homecoming celebration in light of COVID-19. Antonian discontinued use of the football tailgating section this football season due to social distancing requirements. 

Because Homecoming typically draws approximately 100 alumni, Antonian is studying whether it can safely implement protocols for alumni in order to host the tailgating tent bash. Homecoming updates will be posted on the Antonian alumni website (click here to view updates).  
 
All alumni are invited to join your fellow alumni and the Antonian football team and their parents at a Celebration of Life Remembrance Mass on November 6 at 3:30 pm in the Antonian Auditorium. Please RSVP no later than November 5.
