Grandparents’ virtual assembly

Our St Anthony's community loves welcoming our grandparents and grand friends into our school each year. However, this year, we are still unable to have a gathering this large and as such, will be hosting a virtual assembly for our grandparents and grand friends to engage with remotely.

Pope Francis has decided to institute a Church-wide celebration of a World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly. Starting this year, it will be held on the fourth Sunday of July, close to the liturgical memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne, the grandparents of Jesus.

As such, we will be celebrating our Grandparents and Grand Friends Day on Friday the 30th of July. Each grade will present a performance item that will be streamed live for our grandparents and grand friends to enjoy from the comfort of their homes.

We invite you to share the following link with the grandparents and grand friends of your children which will be streamed on Friday the 30th of July at 12pm. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83372451538

We encourage you to reach out and, where possible, visit and spend time with grandparents, grand friends and the elderly who have been hit particularly hard during this time.

Pope Francis released a beautiful message for all grandparents and the elderly earlier this year, we ask that you pass this message on to the grandparents and elderly in your families and communities.
