The Indiana Department of Education released its second round of Four Star Schools for the 2015-16 school year on May 26. We are pleased to announce to our community that St. Anthony de Padua School is among the recipients of this honor!
“Indiana is full of great schools providing exceptional education throughout all four corners of our state,” said Adam Baker, Indiana Department of Education Press Secretary. To receive Four Star designation, a school must receive an “A” on the state’s A-F accountability system, have excellent ISTEP pass rates, carry overall high graduation rate (if applicable), and show success in closing achievement gaps.
A total of 248 schools throughout the state of Indiana received the award. To see the list of schools, including those in our area, visit http://www.doe.in.gov/

There’s a brand new liturgical ministry at St. Anthony, and we need your help rolling it out! The new Hospitality Ministry was created to foster a warm and welcoming environment at every liturgical celebration. This is a great ministry for school families who want to be a part of weekend Masses and participate together (especially families with little kids!).
We need:- Family Greeters to welcome people before Mass and hand out bulletins after. Nothing welcomes parishioners like big smiles from little kids!
- Ushers to help late-comers feel welcome and find seats, and to usher the aisles during Holy Communion.
- Family Gift Bearers to carry up the gifts at Offertory.
- Donut Sunday Coordinators to setup our monthly fun (and delicious!) Donut Sunday gatherings after Masses. This is easier than you think: pickup pre-ordered/prepaid coffee, juice, and donuts at Martin’s, and set out the goodies before Mass ends.
- Reception Coordinators to help us celebrate as a community more often after special Masses throughout the year.
- A Ministry Coordinator for this ministry. Are you interested in parish leadership? We need someone to help keep this ministry organized. More info about that here...

This weekend, the parish Liturgy Committee unveiled all the new and exciting changes coming to liturgical ministries at St. Anthony. Check out the new liturgy pages on the website for more information and to see how you can get involved in the liturgical life of our parish
What are the gifts you can share?
It takes all of us, together, to enrich and enkindle our liturgies here. Can you sing or play an instrument? Can you and your adorable kids welcome people before Mass with big smiles? Can you sew? Do you have a knack for decor and design? Do you love organizing events? Do you feel a special call to serve on the altar? Do you want to teach your kids to serve?
Whatever your gifts, whatever your time, participating in a liturgical ministry will deepen your faithlife, enliven our liturgical celebrations, and enrich our whole community at St. Anthony. Please consider getting your family involved! Learn more about how you can share your gifts…

Come and learn about talking about climate change in your community!
Climate Boot Camp is an in-depth workshop to equip faith leaders to speak confidently and knowledgeably about climate change and its impacts, and to respond as people of faith to this critical challenge. The workshop covers scientific, theological, and pastoral dimensions of the climate crisis, and offers space not only for conversation but for planning and implementing a specific project at participants’ own congregations. A debriefing session will be held via videoconference several weeks later--check individual events for dates.
The workshops are led by Dr. Ben Brabson (IU climate scientist), the Rev. Wyatt Watkins (pastor of Cumberland First Baptist Church, Indy, and H-IPL's board chair), and the Rev. Dr. Trisha Tull (biblical scholar and H-IPL's program director).
$15 registration fee covers refreshments, lunch, and materials. Registration is required for receiving preparatory readings. For more information, contact Trisha Tull.
