Welcome everyone!
This week at the parish:
  • Tuesday - Saint Agnes Playgroup (am), Fatima Apostolate (pm)
  • Thursday - First Friday Confessions (4:00 pm)
  • Friday - First Friday Adoration (all day, Benediction at 5:00, Mass at 5:30)

Now that the weather seems to have turned a bit warmer, we will be holding Tuesday playgroups outdoors at nearby parks. To print a written schedule of our summer playgroup locations, please click here. To see a map of our summer park schedule, please click here.

This Tuesday, July 30th, we will meet at Winn Brook Playground (173 Cross St., Belmont). This park has a large, “maze like” playground, including swings and picnic tables. Bring a picnic lunch and join us - we start at 10:30 am. We hope to see you there!

**NOTE THAT our outdoor summer schedule is highly dependent on good weather. If the weather seems questionable, please check your email or the blog page before you leave for playgroup. In case of rain, our usual rain location will be at Fidelity House, 25 Medford St., Arlington. Thanks!**

This Friday, August 2nd, is the first Friday of the month.  On Thursday, June 6th from 4:00-5:00 pm, there will be the opportunity for confession in the lower church.  Saint Agnes will be offering all-day Adoration, concluding with Benediction and Mass at 5:00/5:30pm, in the lower church. Also at noon there will be a Holy Hour to pray for priests and victims of clergy sexual abuse. Adoration is a wonderful opportunity to spend some quiet time with the Lord and gain some focus in our lives - especially with all the busy distractions of family life. For more background on the long tradition of keeping a First Friday devotion, look here or here.

There will not be First Friday playgroup this month, due to scheduling conflicts. Hopefully you can meet us at First Friday in September!
