'We are committed to the safety, wellbeing and dignity of all children and vulnerable adults.'
Welcome
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness….and not only to me, but also to all who have loved his appearing.” (2 Tim 4:7-8) This message from St. Paul assures us that those who endure hardships and sacrifices, yet devote their lives to the service of God and others, will be taken care of. Stewards always place their trust in God.
St Anthony's Christmas Carnival
ST. ANTHONY'S CHRISTMAS FAIR Our Carnival for 2019 is taking on a new look. St. Anthony's Christmas Fair will be held on Saturday, 7 December 2019. As church renovations will be well on their way, we are making a few changes to the setup and adding some new flavours to the mix. We are hoping to have a plant stall: jam, chutney and pickle stall; and even fruit and vegetables from your own backyard stall. So this is an early notice to those interested to get your plants blooming and jams boiling in time for the Christmas Fair. Anyone interested in running a stall or have any ideas for stalls please feel free to email us at StAnthonysNPEvents@gmail.com, call Glen D'Cunha on 0422 892 541 or Suzan Gerreyn on 0497 478 662.
