Thank you to all who attended, volunteered, prayed for, and supported in any way our VBS this year! We had over 90 children attend. Our 5th & 6th grade group was the largest we've had since my tenure at St. Anthony began 5 years ago. This little statistic tells me that these kiddos have come to VBS and keep coming back and are telling their friends how much fun they are having! We've also had many of our VBS "graduates" return as volunteers, which makes it even better! Those little children really look up to our teens when they help out.

Our theme this year was Marvelous Mystery: The Mass Comes Alive! We explored the Mass as a Mystery, a Gift, a Celebration, a Sacred Meal and a Call. Each day we focused on a different aspect of the Mass and the Eucharist. It is our hope that through the different activities, songs, games, prayers and lessons that the children grew to understand a little more about the Mass and why it's so important to us Catholics.

As promised, I've put the slide show on the website for you to enjoy.
