THANKSGIVING DAY MASS
9:00 A.M. - NOVEMBER 22nd
Give THANKS to the Lord for He is good!
St. Agnes Parish will celebrate Mass on Thanksgiving Day at 9:00am. Although NOT a Holy Day of obligation, what better way to say "Thank You" to God for all that He does for us. Put God first. The rest will fall into place. All parishioners are highly encouraged to attend. Our main celebrant this year is Archbishop John Favalora.
CHRISTMAS WREATHS
The CYO is taking orders for Christmas Wreaths. This year, due to several requests, Christmas door swags and Christmas table centerpieces will be available in limited quantities.

on line or at the entrances of church.

In order to help those in need, they will need to fill their food bank back up. Any help you can give them with non-perishable foods or even monetary donations so that they can purchase the foods, please do so. There is a bin in back of church where you can drop off your non-perishables. Monetary donations can be dropped off in the collection basket. Thanks again for your help!
