Food Pantry Open!

God is good! The Pantry is back open on Tuesdays after we had anticipated having to close for a while due to supply chain issues with our hot lunch program. We were able to secure more refrigeration options thanks to Bob Collett in our Business Office and Jordan Kern in Maintenance. 

We are delighted to be back in business for Saint Agnes families. Questions? Please contact Mrs. Becki Berthiaume.
Daycare Help Needed for Faculty

We are seeking additional daycare/babysitting support for our faculty members as our Aggie family grows! If you are interested in or are currently hosting daycare/babysitting services and have spots available, please contact Michael Adkins to let him know of your interest.
