This Tuesday, June 30th, we will enjoy some summer freedom to go on a field trip with the kids!  We will be heading down to Ward's Berry Farm (614 South Main St., Sharon MA). This farm has a great PYO Strawberry field, in addition to some small play equipment for the kids and some 4-H animals. For up-to-date info on picking conditions and prices, see: http://www.wardsberryfarm.com/PYO_today.html.  We will meet at 10:30 am AT THE PLAYGROUND, TO THE SIDE OF THE STOREFRONT (we are sometimes about 15 minutes late). Please bring CASH for the berries, SUNSCREEN, HATS, 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, playgroup will be cancelled for the day. Thanks!**

This Friday, July 3rd, is the first Friday of the month.  On Thursday, July 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 daily life. For more background on the long tradition of keeping a First Friday devotion, look here or here.
