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 (but sometimes moms run late).  You are welcome to join us! You can find the winter playgroup schedule here, or by clicking the link at the upper left of the blog home page.

This Tuesday, November 24th, we will meet at Menotomy Rocks Park (127 Jason St.) in Arlington. This beautiful, wooded playground is set off from the road by a gravel path. Bring your own lunch or snack and join us!

**NOTE THAT our outdoor winter 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 or weather below 30 degrees, playgroup will be cancelled for the day. Thanks!**

As we prepare for our own national holiday of Thanksgiving, 

we pray for all refugees, and victims of the Paris, Mali, and Beirut attacks.

We ask for the help of the Holy Spirit to see those in need as He sees them.

We ask for the help of the Holy Spirit to value peace above personal gain.

We all have troubles and crosses in daily life.
We also enjoy innumerable blessings.

Let's offer to God a "sacrifice of praise,"

recognizing His goodness despite the presence of suffering,

as many Catholics around the world do each day.

Join our Parish Community on Wednesday night

at 7:00 pm for the Thanksgiving Eve Mass

Let's rejoice and THANK HIM!

"The rich and the poor have this in common: the Lord is the maker of them all."
(Proverbs 22:2)
