St. Anthony Coptic School Opens Its Doors in Guildford
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
The Fourth Coptic School Established in Sydney
With great joy and thanksgiving to God, the Coptic Orthodox community celebrates the official opening of St. Anthony Coptic School, the fourth Coptic school established in Sydney. The school is located within the grounds of St. Anthony and St. Paul Coptic Orthodox Church, Guildford, and marks another significant milestone in the Church’s ongoing commitment to Christian education and the holistic formation of future generations.
The opening of this new educational ministry stands as a testament to the vision, dedication, and tireless efforts of all those who have worked faithfully to bring this project to fruition. It represents an investment in future generations and a commitment to providing children with an environment where faith and learning flourish together.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the clergy, staff, families, benefactors, volunteers, and all who have contributed to making this vision a reality.
We pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will richly bless this new ministry, grant it continued growth and fruitfulness, and use it for the glory of His Holy Name. May He guide every student, teacher, and family who becomes part of the St. Anthony Coptic School community, and may this school be a beacon of Christian faith, academic excellence, and loving service for generations to come.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
