Parish News and Events
SAINT AGNES
Saint Agnes was born in 291
into a Roman family of
nobility and raised in a
Christian family. She
suffered martyrdom for her
faith and commitment to her
virginity as a young teen on
January 21, 304. In art she
is often portrayed holding a
lamb, a symbol of innocence.
Saint Agnes is the patron
saint of young girls.
Sacrament of Reconciliation
Saturday 3:30 - 4:00pm or
by appointment.
Sacrament of Baptism
Baptism is celebrated during
the 11:00am Sunday Mass on
the third Sunday each month.
Contact the Parish Office two
months before the anticipated
date of baptism.
Sacrament of Marriage
Arrangements are to be made
with the Pastor or Deacon at
least six months in advance of
the wedding.
To Those Hospitalized,
Homebound or in Nursing
Homes
The Pastoral Staff and parish
volunteers will visit you at your
request or through the request
of family and friends. We can
also arrange to have the
Eucharist and the Sacrament
of the Sick for you by
contacting the Parish Office.
Parish Outreach
If you seek assistance with rent,
groceries, utilities, emergency
shelter, etc., please contact the
Parish Office for referral and/

FROM THE DESK OF FR. DANE...
+ Now that we have temporarily moved into the school for Masses, we need to be
conscious of the fact that some of our members need to park close to the school for
ease of walking. As a caring, welcoming community, those of us able to walk without
difficulty are asked to park further from the school building so that those with walkers, canes or crutches might be able to park closer to the school.
+ The west side Catholic parishes have a practice of forwarding collection envelopes
from visitors back to their home parish. If you place your St. Agnes envelope at St.
Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. John the Baptist (Howard), Nativity, St. Joseph (Green Bay),
St. Jude, Annunciation or St. Patrick, it will be sent back to St. Agnes.
+ On Mother’s Day, Masses were made all the more special by the presence of our
parish choirs. I want to thank all of our choir members, including our Resurrection
Choir, Adult Choir, Youth Choir and Children’s Choir for their dedication to our worship. My hope is that each choir will grow as an expression of our love for God.
Thank you to our choir directors, musicians and cantors as well. St. Augustine says,
“When you sing, you pray twice.” Thank you to all for enhancing our worship experience.
+ Our next great parish-wide celebration will be our ST. AGNES PARISH FESTIVAL.
Please pick up your raffle tickets as well as sign up to help in one of our booths, etc.
Take the weekend off of cooking and join us for dinner on Saturday after the 4:15
p.m. Mass…then return on Sunday to taste some of our international foods. Three
different styles of music will keep our parish grounds alive & the dance floor will be
rocking on Saturday evening with 80s & 90s music, followed by Mariachi music and
a Polka band on Sunday afternoon. Mark your calendars for JUNE 11 & 12, 2011.
+ If you would like to volunteer to serve our parish in any way, please contact the
Parish Office (494-2534) and indicate how you would like to share your talents.
Next weekend’s Masses are in the Parish Social Hall in the school.
Saturday, May 21 - Confessions 3:30-4:00 & Mass at 4:15 p.m.
Sunday, May 22 - 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00 a.m.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Fr. Dane needs a crew of volunteers to help move the remaining items from the church
before the renovation begins. The items to be moved include the church hymnals from
the pews, altar linens, vestments and other items that are not too heavy. If you are willing to help on MONDAY, MAY 16, 2011 (beginning at 8:00 a.m.) please call the Parish
Office or just show up!
