All are welcome to journey to find God in all things through the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. St. Agnes and St. Ignatius Parishes offer the Exercises through the 19th Annotation, known as “a retreat in daily life.” The 19th Annotation Retreat is a way of making a retreat during the course of ordinary living without having to forgo, for a time, one's commitments to work, family and friends. Important in the discernment process is the completion of a questionnaire. Please return the questionnaire before August 31, 2023.
Registrations are now open for the 2023-24 year, which starts in September. Please register by visiting saintagnessf.org/cff-registration. For more information, contact CFF Coordinator Sr. Teresa Malave, VDMF: [email protected].

Dear St. Agnes Family, Happy Father’s Day! Matthew 9:36—10:8 portrays Jesus' deep compassion for the crowds, as He saw them like sheep without a shepherd. This Father's Day, we are reminded that the role of a father extends beyond biology, encompassing any individual who has played a father figure in our lives—those who have guided, supported, shaped, and fostered our growth.
