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, June 11, we will be at Lussiano Field (41 North Union St., Arlington). This playground has a large field as well as some sand areas and basketball courts.  If it's hot (and we are lucky), the spray pool might be open.  SO BRING POTENTIAL SWIMSUITS!  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!**

Mom's Night - THURSDAY, June 13th - 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. We will kick it off with snacks and drinks at 7:00 pm.

Registration for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is now OPEN!
Our parish is very blessed to offer this montessori-based preschool Religious Education Program.  This program serves children ages 3 to 5 years.  The children must be potty-trained and able to go to the restroom on their own.  There are a limited number of seats, to be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, determined by the date the registration form is received. Registration forms available at the Parish Center and should be returned to the Religious Education Office. You may contact the Religious Education Office at 781-646-5579 if you wish to have the form mailed to you. For information about the program, call Jean Keiselbach (781-
646-0475).
