“This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.”

Luke 22:19

April 15, 2024

From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal

SAL Parents:

Happy tax day! As the weather warms and we draw closer to the much anticipated days of summer, a reminder that our handbook outlines dress expectations for students. Beginning, May 1, students may wear shorts to school (weather permitting) and our young ladies are no longer required to wear leggings. Please be sure, however, that skirts are of a length consistent with our setting. Young ladies whose skirts fail to meet expectation will be asked to wear leggings; donations to the office of any spare leggings are appreciated. We thank you in advance for your adherence to our code and look forward to a great stretch run!

Take care and God bless,

M. Van Hulle

Principal, SAL

Safe Environment Education

Anyone who is volunteering in any manner here at St. Anthony on the Lake will need to participate in a one-time training titled “Safe Environment Education”. This training is mandated by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. To register and for additional information, please go to the Safe Environment page on the Archdiocese website. Again, this training, along with a background check, is a one-time training requirement for all adults.

Greeters at Sunday Mass

Would your family like to greeters on Sunday Mornings at Church? Greeters play an important part in welcoming parishioners and visitors to Mass each week. Greeters have several important duties before Mass begins. They welcome people into the building, show them where to hang coats, where to find the restrooms and where the childcare room is.

How does your family become Greeters? You will need to contact the Music and Liturgy Office and have your family’s name added to the Greeters Participation Group of MySAL. Once your name is in the Participation Group you can go in at anytime and sign up for the date and Mass time you wish.

If you have any questions, contact Vincent LaTona in the Prayer and Worship Office at 262 691-1173 ex. 1109 or by email at latonav@stanthony.cc.
