THE HOUR OF POWER

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen explains that, “We are not called to great penances, and

many would interfere with our duty, but the Holy Hour is our daily sacrifice in un-

ion with Christ.” Over 100,000 Protestants, said Archbishop Sheen, pledged themselves

to spending this daily “hour of power” with  Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration

every Wednesday following the 8:00 Mass until 8:00 in the evening. Please join us for whatever time you can afford.

We are in the process of creating a St. Agnes School Alumni Database so that we can communicate with all of you about the great things going on in our school.

If you or your children went to St. Agnes School, please fill out the form below.  You can also forward it to other alumni you might know.  Forms can either be mailed to the Rectory, 233 W. Gay St., West Chester, PA 19380 or dropped off at the Rectory office.  Your information can also be e-mailed to: info@saintagnesparish.org.  Thank you.

Many thanks to everyone who helped with the recent March 21-22 Commitment Weekend for our Education Endowment Fund here at St. Agnes.  Pledges from the Weekend now total $34,872, made by 54 generous donors!   Combined with our home-visit campaign in the spring and summer of 2008 and our mail campaign in the fall, we have now reached our initial campaign goal of $1.5M!!!  Work will continue, but meeting this milestone is a great accomplishment.  We could not have done it without our many volunteers and the grace of the Holy Spirit.

Additional accomplishments include creation of a permanent Endowment Board as well as a School Advisory Council.  Pledges are being redeemed, an annual events(s) is being planned, and alumni lists are under development.

Thanks again and please check back soon!!!
