Saint Agnes Troops of Saint George

St. Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, tells fathers to raise their sons in the Paideia of the Lord. What does that mean, and how do we begin to unpack that apostolic exhortation? The Troops of St. George are here to help you do so! 

The Troops of Saint George apostolate aims to use the outdoors as our canvas and the sacraments as our path to light the way for the formation of holy Catholic men and boys. Whether called to the vocation of the priesthood, the religious life, or that of holy fatherhood, our fathers and sons will take a prayerful pilgrimage together to fulfill Christ’s desire for them to grow in virtue and in their holy Catholic faith as they journey toward heaven.

Please contact Mr. David Gockowski dbgockowski@gmail.com if you are interested in learning more about or joining the Saint Agnes Troops of Saint George.

Kitchen Help Needed

Aggie families: We are in need of help in our kitchen during lunch--anywhere from 1-3 days per week. The kitchen is a fun, energetic part of the school where you get to work with a great team AND meet the students in the school. This job is physical and fast paced. It does required anticipation of the needs of our customers (students and staff) as well as the patience of a saint!

The job description can be found here.

Please email Food Service Manager, Kelly DiPietro, with any inquiries.
