Geocache Description:


Established in 1962, St. Anthony's Catholic Church in the Bushman's River Mouth serves the large community of Christians in the Ndlambe Municipality. The church is served from Grahamstown meaning priest are sent to the church to say mass. The church is small and can only seat about 150-200 people however large crowds of people are seen overflowing the church and crowding the doors during the Easter as well as the Christmas holidays.

St Anthony of Padua was known for his vast travels and was recorded to have been shipwrecked off the coast of Sicily ,beaching on Messina Italy. His life story relates to the the birth of Kenton-on-Sea, how the Trekkers travelled by ox to Kenton as well as the known shipwreck of The Volo. 

St.Anthony is often dipicted holding the infant Jesus, a book or a lily. He is the patron saint of mariners, fisherman, elderly people, poor people, shipwrecks and travellers. These attributes are very fitting and he can be seen as an iconic figure or symbol of Kenton-on-Sea.

The cache is placed in the gardens outside of the church which holds refuge those who are suffering,mourning or those who need peace with nature. Please be respectful looking for this cache as it is church ground.
