This Tuesday, September 17th, we will meet at Buzzell Field Playground (46 Summer St., Arlington) at 10:30 am.  This park has a play structure, a sandbox, and a basketball court area which is good for bikes or scooters.  It is located RIGHT ON the bikepath, too!  Bring a lunch and join us!


**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!**

Mom's Night - THURSDAY, September 19th - We will get together for a stress-free evening, and play some get-to-know-you games (think: Apples to Apples) . I would rather not publish the hostesses address, so please email me at saintagnesfamilies [at] gmail.com if you plan to come. Please bring a snack or drink to share!  We will kick it off at 7:00 pm.

Teachers for Religious Education Needed
Our parish religious education program will start again in September. Teachers for Grades 1, 3, 4, and 8 are needed. Do you feel called to teach our faith and a love for the Lord?Please consider this opportunity to deepen your own understanding of the Catholic faith and to share it with others. Training supplies and materials provided. Consider co-teaching with a spouse, relative or a friend.

We are also seeking monitors for special events. This would involve about five Sundays throughout the year from 9:45 until 10:05 am. Kindly call 781-646-5579 for more information about these opportunities for service in our community.

If you have any questions, call Michael Vaughn at 617-833-0364 or send an email to mrv2022 [at] gmail.com.  You can always find the current Adult Choir or Children’s Choir Mass and Rehearsal Schedule at www.agnesmusic.net.
