The Church of St. Agnes invites you to take an active role in the life of our parish. Consider checking out one of the many groups listed below or consider starting your own group. We welcome your participation.

Information coming soon.

The Church of St. Agnes has long been well known for the magnificence and splendor of our traditional celebration of the Mass. The richness of these celebrations are punctuated by the well honed and fine tuned training our corps of altar servers. Boys wishing to join this army of servers must be at least 10 years old or in the fifth grade. They should register for training through the parish office and will then be invited to attend training as new teams form in the fall at the beginning of each new school year.

The Legion of Mary is the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church. It has been active in the United States since 1931 and has been approved by the last 6 Popes. Members become instruments of the Holy Spirit working under the mantle of Mother Mary. Works include door-to-door evangelization, parishioner visitation, sidewalk counseling outside abortion centers and many other works. The Legion of Mary is, in essence, an extension of the heart and hands of the pastor. Many blessings come to members of the Legion of Mary.

We meet once a week on Monday at 6:45 PM in the Bride's room of the Church Hall for prayer, planning and discussion in a friendly setting. Please come to our meetings as a guest and see what we are all about.

The Usher Corps assists the parish by greeting people as they arrive at St. Agnes, gathering the collection, directing parishioners during communion, and answering questions for visitors after Mass. As St. Agnes attracts many visitors from around the country, the Usher Corps serves an important role in assisting our guests.

If you are at least 18 years old and would like to serve as an usher either part time or every Sunday, please contact Mike Peterson for more information or simply talk to any of our ushers before or after Mass. Your help would be much appreciated.
