Our school provides opportunities for students, staff and parents to know and celebrate their Catholic faith. This is done through the religious life of our school. Members of our community experience a rich liturgical and prayer life, celebration of the Sacraments, faith formation, social outreach activities, and opportunities to share faith with each other and with youth from other schools in the Archdiocese.
The Religious Education program at St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School Marsfield is based on the curriculum developed by Sydney Catholic Schools.
It includes the opportunity for the children to:
- reflect on sacred Scripture
- talk with God through prayer
- participate in liturgy
- explore the meaning of the symbols and rituals of our faith
- respond to gifts and blessings in their lives.
- exercise leadership in Religious Education
- participate in outreach programs.
The sacramental programs of First Reconciliation, First Eucharist and Confirmation, are all parish-based. Religious Education is taught in context and children are encouraged to reflect on the message of Jesus in their daily lives.
