Service Projects
How We Serve
As a Catholic school, we are committed to living and breathing our faith through acts of mercy. We believe it is essential to our Catholic values that we serve our community and those in need. Service provides an opportunity for our elementary and middle school students to understand what it looks like to give to others and to connect their faith with action. The entire Saint Anthony Catholic School body participates in several service projects during the year. These projects are chosen by a team of teachers, often with student input, and involve our entire school community.
Throughout the years, Saint Anthony Catholic School and our students have undertaken a number of service projects in and around our community. We invite you to explore some of our past service projects below.
