Respect Life Mass on Sunday, January 17th at 10:30 am
The Saint Agnes Parish Community will hold our annual Respect Life Mass on Sunday, January 17th 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 will also be hosting a "Baby Shower"
on the weekends of
January 16-17 and January 23-24
for the needs of mothers and their babies.
A crib will be placed at the front of church to accept
your donations on these weekends.
Please make monetary donations in the form of a check, payable to "Fund for the Unborn."
See flyer below for specific needs. While we accept donations throughout the year, we are asking for new items during the Baby Shower in order to give nice gifts to mothers in need of a real, welcoming, and supportive baby shower.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness!

LOCAL Natural Family Planning
Attention Married Couples! Would you like…
- a natural, hormone-free way to postpone pregnancy?
- to start a family or have another child?
- to improve communication with your spouse?
- to learn more about church teaching on "the Theology of the Body?"
- to understand why the Bishops were so unsettled by the HHS mandate?
Natural Family Planning (NFP) is an organic, chemical-free method that is just as effective (99%) as the Pill at postponing pregnancy, and nearly twice as effective as IVF for achieving pregnancy. The divorce rate among couples that practice NFP is less than 2%.
Do you want to learn more? Josh and Meredith Phelps are certified teachers of a 3-class NFP series offered in our locale! For sign-ups, details, or questions about dates, please email Meredith.Phelps [at] gmail.com.
For more information about NFP available from the diocese, you can checkout this webpage, or this brochure.
