Tuesday, October 31, 2023
On Antonine Day, Tuesday 24 October, we celebrated our College and all that has been achieved. We expressed gratitude to all the Antonine Sisters who over the last 20 plus years have sacrificed so much to make Antonine College a reality. Serving the Lebanese Maronites living in Melbourne, the Antonine Sisters responded to requests from the community for a school. Many Antonine Sisters over the years, have left behind their homeland and families to come and serve the Melbourne community helping us maintain ties with our heritage. The Antonine Sisters successfully established a Child Care, School and an Aged Care facility with openness and strong connections with the wider community without losing identity and faithfulness to the Maronite Church. It was very special to have the Antonine Sisters renew their vows in the Mass.
We also celebrated the contribution of all the lay staff, teachers and support staff who over the last 20 plus years, grateful for all the opportunities we have been given due to the dedication and hard work of the Antonine Sisters.
The students are what makes Antonine College, a great place to work. They are enthusiastic, faithful, caring and a pleasure to teach. We pray that our students are always healthy and happy.
Happy Antonine Day to all!
During the Antonine Day Mass, the College community was shown a video which highlighted key events in the history of Antonine College and the contribution of the Antonine Sisters. Thank you to all students who participated in the video and especially to our Antonine Sisters, who demonstrate God’s love in all that they do for our staff and students. We are so blessed to have you with us.
