The feast day of St Agnes is on January 21, so we will be praying a Novena together as we lead up to her feast day. We will be praying the prayers together at St. Agnes Parish's daily Mass, but if you are unable to join us we invite you to follow along here as well as on our Facebook page, The Christ Iniatitive. You can download a pdf of the program available at the church right here, and we will be posting the prayers of the day every day on our Facebook page at 8am.
