“Every Life is a Gift” - Respect Life Mass on Sunday, January 18th at 10:30 am
The Saint Agnes Parish Community will hold our annual Respect Life Mass on Sunday, January 18th at 10:30 am at Saint Agnes Church in Arlington. Please join us as we pray for a greater respect for all human life from conception until natural death. A reception with coffee and bagels/donuts will follow in the Arlington Catholic Library immediately adjacent to the Church.  Come and join us!  If you have any questions, please e-mail saparishforlife [at] gmail.com.

We invite you to join us and hundreds of thousands from across America as we travel from
Arlington to Washington DC for the 42nd Annual March for Life!

Affiliated with Saint Agnes and Saint Camillus parishes in Arlington, this bus trip involved 3 days/2 nights (January 21-23) with comfortable accommodations at the Hampton Inn in Silver Spring, MD.  We have planned an active "March Day" itinerary for January 22nd in our nation's capital, mixed with relaxation, fellowship, and prayer.  Ask anyone who has gone before: it's a spiritual experience you will never forget!

The cost is $239 per person (double occupancy) or $319 (single occupancy).  The bus leaves from and returns to the Saint Camillus Church parking lot (Rt. 2 Westbound Exit 57, "Dow Ave. Arlington").

For more information, contact Tom Harvey (THarveyEsq [at] aol.com) or Joe Kolb (JosKol5 [at] yahoo.com).

This Tuesday, January 13th, playgroup will be cancelled for THIS WEEK only, due to the very cold weather.  Please check back again next week if the weather is good enough for playgroup.  We hope to meet you and see you there!
