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, April 9, we will be at Parallel Park (174 Medford St., Arlington).  This park has a large field that is good for balls and kites.  We will meet at 10:30 am.  Feel free to bring a picnic lunch, and join us.  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, May 3rd, is the first Friday of the month. On Thursday, May 2nd from 4:00-5:00 pm, there will be the opportunity for confession in the lower church. On Friday, 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 June!

Our city has been deeply affected by the Boston Marathon Bombing and the events following.  Please remember to pray for everyone involved; for the Holy Spirit's guidance in faith and forgiveness.  Daily Mass is held at Saint Agnes at 7:00 am each weekday, followed by a recitation of the rosary.  Confessions are on Saturday afternoons.

In addition, please take time this First Friday to stop by the church and pray before our Eucharistic Lord, regarding this sad tragedy.
