  Footprints in Gratitude is a journey through the major events in our Saviour’s life and passion, reflecting on what we have to be grateful for. Dates: 2 Jan – 6 Feb, 8pm, Days: Mondays to Thursdays and Saturdays
• Note 1: From 1 Dec, you are required to use the TraceTogether mobile app or a physical TraceTogether token for Safe Entry check-in. No group check-in is allowed.
• Note 2: Contributions towards Saint Vincent De Paul (SSVP). The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SSVP) seeks your generous contributions to sustain their ministerial work for the less fortunate. Their donation box has been shifted to the basement carpark, just next to the elevator as you all exit the Church. Do drop your donations into this box.
• Note 3: Catechism Registration 2021 – The registration for new students in 2021 has started including mainstream, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and Precious Seeds programmes. Please visit https://saint-anthony.org/catechism/ for details and registration procedure. For existing students, please refer to the letter sent to parents via WhatsApp.
• Note 4: With effect from Jan 2021, we will stop our Tuesday Private Worship due to low take up rate. All manpower and resources are channeled to one session on Fridays 8-9pm. All are welcome to spend an hour of quiet time with our Lord. Registration is required at https://jan2020csapw.eventbrite.sg.
• Note 5: On average, we see 15% of parishioners not showing up for the masses that they booked. Though we understand emergency situations sometimes occur at the last minute, the 15% number is too high and works against our desire to increase the number of persons per mass and also prevents other parishioners from booking seats. For a recent Sunset mass, 49 registered parishioners did not turn up! Please check your schedules before booking or if you have to cancel, do so at least 48 hours before the mass (via the MARS system) so that others may take up the vacated seats.
