Saint Agnes Family Playgroup
The Saint Agnes Family group holds weekly Tuesday playgroups outdoors at nearby parks. We start at 10:30 am (but sometimes moms run late). You are welcome to join us! You can find the spring playgroup schedule here, or by clicking the link at the upper left of the blog home page.

This Tuesday, April 19th, we will meet at McClennen Park (680 Summer St., Arlington).  This park has a large field, a playground, and a skateboard area for bikes and scooters. Bring a picnic lunch, enjoy spring vacation week, and join us!

**NOTE THAT our outdoor play 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 or weather below 32 degrees, playgroup will be cancelled for the day. Thanks!**

Saturday Morning Prayer at Planned Parenthood
Saint Agnes Parish is continuing its hour of prayer in front of Planned Parenthood on Saturday mornings from 7:00-8:00 am.  If you would like to carpool, meet at 6:30 am in the Saint Agnes School parking lot.  We return to Arlington by 8:30 a.m.  If you have questions, please e-mail Eileen Cahill at SAParishforLife@gmail.com.  We have been told by the devoted sidewalk counselors how much they appreciate having us there praying when they arrive.  They need help and support.  Please join this effort.  Once you go and pray with others, you gain more confidence and it gets easier.  Join us; prayer is the faithful's most powerful tool!

Saint Agnes School - Trivia Night!
Are you looking for a fun night out with other parents from our parish?  Join Saint Agnes School for their annual Trivia Night.  It is a fundraiser for our wonderful parish school, but it is much more than that!  It is a night of laughs, getting to know other parents,  socializing with teachers and staff, and overall a whole lot of fun.  If you are not familiar with how Trivia Night works, here's a quick lesson!  Groups of up to 8 sit together at a table.  Your table brings food to share, there is a cash bar, and "trivia" questions are asked to the group.  Each table has a certain amount of time to "discuss" the answer, decide on the final answer and bring it up to the TRIVIA HOST.  At the end of the night, the table that has the most points for answering questions correctly wins a CASH prize!!!  Click and print the form below, then send it in.  Join us!
