Saint Agnes Family Playgroup - CHECK THE BLOG BEFORE YOU LEAVE!

The Saint Agnes Family group holds weekly Tuesday playgroups outdoors at nearby parks.  We start at 10:30 am.  You are welcome to join us! 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, August 25th, we will take our last opportunity to go on a summer field trip with the kids!  We will meet at historical Walden Pond (915 Walden St., Concord). We can go swimming, enjoy a picnic, or take a short hike.  Please note that parking requires a DCR pass or is $8 per car.  Please bring your own sunscreen, towels, lunch or snack and join us!

**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!**

Small Groups

In the coming year, the Outreach committee will endeavor to create, organize, and structure small faith-sharing groups at Saint Agnes. The concept is for each group of 7-10 people to be self-contained and self-directing, while maintaining connectivity to leadership of the parish. Those who are interested will be able to join a group at periodic intervals, for example, at the Parish Ministry fair upcoming in October.

If you are interested in leading such a group, please create a concept for your group: you can pick your own topic, meeting time and location, and whether your group will be men, women, or co-ed. Let's start the discussion! Please email Marianne Hudelson (SaintAgnesFamilies@gmail.com) with your ideas if you are able to lead. Many thanks!
