Saint Agnes Family Playgroup
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 spring playgroup schedule here, or by clicking the link at the upper left of the blog home page.
This Tuesday, May 10th, we will meet at Menotomy Rocks Park (127 Jason St., Arlington) at 10:30 am. This park has lots of trails, a pond, and a shaded playground with a fort! It is supposed to be a beautiful day, so pack a picnic lunch and join us!
**NOTE THAT our outdoor play 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 32 degrees, playgroup will be cancelled for the day. Thanks!**

Saturday Morning Prayer at Planned Parenthood
Saint Agnes Parish is continuing its hour of prayer in front of Planned Parenthood on Saturday mornings from 7:00-8:00 am. If you would like to carpool, meet at 6:30 am in the Saint Agnes School parking lot. We return to Arlington by 8:30 a.m. If you have questions, please e-mail Eileen Cahill at SAParishforLife@gmail.com. We have been told by the devoted sidewalk counselors how much they appreciate having us there praying when they arrive. They need help and support. Please join this effort. Once you go and pray with others, you gain more confidence and it gets easier. Join us; prayer is the faithful's most powerful tool!
