We truly believe Praying as a community invites the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, increases faith, and fosters a sense of unity among members. It also helps individuals align their desires with God’s purposes, enhancing the overall spiritual experience and effectiveness of the group and especially our intentions.
With Blessings,
Evelyn Madruga-Barandiaran

Loaves and Fishes!
A Big Thank You from Loaves & Fishes! 🐟🍞
Dear St. Agnes friends, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your faithful monthly protein donations. Your generosity keeps our shelves stocked and our neighbors fed!
Food can be donated the 1st weekend of every month. Along with our protein needs we also could use: breakfast items!
If you’re willing and able, we’d be so grateful for boxed cereal or individual oatmeal cups. The oatmeal cups are especially wonderful because they only need hot water, which our neighbors can get at local coffee shops for a warm, filling breakfast. What a comfort that will be in the cooler months ahead!
