The Diocese of Victoria Office of Catholic Schools recently recognized St. Anthony School parent Tammy Fuller as a 2026 Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton Award winner. The award celebrates individuals who emulate what it means to serve, giving selflessly of their time and talents while supporting Catholic education. Mrs. Fuller’s dedication as a parent volunteer over the last 15 years has truly been a blessing to the SAS family.

Yesterday, the SAS 8th graders spent the day in Mentz at St. Roch for their end-of-year retreat. This is an annual day of reflection and prayer…an opportunity to come together in fellowship one last time in a faithfilled and fun way. Students ended the day being honored at the Junior High Academic & Sports Banquet.

This coming Sunday is Mother’s Day, and just as we celebrate our own mothers, Catholics honor Mary as the mother of Jesus during the entire month of May. Yesterday, SAS students held a May Crowning prayer service, placing fresh flowers around the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary along with a beautiful floral crown placed on her head, honoring her as the Queen of Heaven.
