Catholic Schools Week
Dividends for Life
Sunday, January 31
Dividends for Life: In Our Parish
Join us in celebrating the start of Catholic Schools Week at the 9:00 A.M. Mass
at Saint Agnes Church. Saint Agnes School and Arlington Catholic will be
celebrating all week the dividends provided by each school: high quality,
faith-based education that will continue to pay dividends for years to come.
We would like to build on the success of last year's "Free Rice"
contest and challenge all parishioners in Saint Agnes Parish, students and
families at Saint Agnes School, Arlington Catholic and Fidelity House to
participate in the "Free Rice" program. We will begin on Sunday,
January 30th and end on Friday, February 5th. For more information on this
worthwhile program, please see the Free
Rice flyer or call the school at 781-643-9031.
