Congratulations to Deacon Vance

On Saturday, our Technology Director, colleague, and friend Chris Vance was ordained to the Permanent Diaconate at the Cathedral of Saint Paul. He has long been a great witness to the faith at our school, and I ask you to join us in praying for Deacon Vance as he begins his new ministerial role serving our archdiocese! join us in praying for Deacon Vance as he begins his new ministerial role serving our archdiocese!

Militia Immaculata Consecration

On Friday at our All-School Mass on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, 24 high school students consecrated themselves to Jesus through Mary as part of our chapter of the Militia Immaculata, an organization founded by St. Maximilian Kolbe to spread devotion to our Blessed Mother. We are proud to be the first high school in America to have a chapter of the Militia Immaculata, and we pray that opportunities like this for our students enable them to continue to grow in relationship with Jesus for the rest of their lives.

Lost and Found

Please have your student check the lost and found. Any items remaining at the end of the semester will be donated over Christmas break.

Exodus90 at Saint Agnes

The Saint Agnes Exodus90 men's group will be starting up again at the beginning of January. The intention of this group is to gather as group of men who are intent on strengthening their relationship with Jesus through prayer, fasting, and ascetic practices. This accountability program starts up 90 days before Easter (Lent on Steroids) and helps in the effort to release ourselves from the slavery of the convenience of our modern world (slavery), to true freedom in strengthening our ability to say no to this world and yes to Christ (The Promised Land). We meet every Friday morning at 5:30AM in Schuler Hall, followed by an optional 6:30AM Mass in the chapel. If you have any questions and/or interest please reach out to Mr. Joseph Olson at 651-925-8803.

RSVP here for the Saint Agnes Exodus90 group. 

Learn more about the program here.

Join us for a trial meeting any time. We meet every Friday at 5:30AM in Schuler Hall.
