Grandparent's Day Celebration
On Friday 26 July, the school community of St Anthony’s celebrated Grandparent’s Day on the Feast Day of St Anne and St Joachim. This is such a special feast day, they were the grandparents of Jesus, the parents of Mary. They are celebrated for having conceived and raised the immaculate and sinless woman who would one day give birth to Jesus.

Belonging
‘Precisely because of his life experience, St. Ignatius of Loyola saw with great clarity that
every Christian is involved in a battle that defines his or her life. It is a struggle to overcome the temptation of closing in on ourselves, so that the love of the Father can make its home in us. When we make room for the Lord who rescues us from our self-sufficiency, we open up to all of creation and every creature. We become channels of the Father’s life and love. Only then do we realise what life truly is: a gift of the Father who loves us deeply and desires that we belong to him and to each other.’ Pope Francis
Excerpted from the foreword to First Belong to God by Austen Ivereigh
