Since 1966 Fr. Stan Brennan has been working in ReigerPark with underprivileged and disadvantaged people.People that desperately needed help spiritually, educationally, culturally and socially.Initially, their greatest need was to be literate so Fr. Stan provided a small library and from this very humble beginning, St. Anthony's Centre developed.Today St. Anthony's offers the following programmes, not only to the local people, but also to all those living in the Gauteng area and beyond.
With help from local and overseas donors, the St. Anthony's Centre projects have been able to help literally thousands of needy, marginalised people in the past forty years.Much funding is needed to keep these projects running. This funding will have to continue to enable the Centre to continue the good work that is still urgently needed if South Africa is to grow and develop into a world-class democracy.
