The mission of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Catholic Charismatic Renewal www.phillyspirit.com is to encourage in the Church, the life filled grace of “Baptism in the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5),” which empowered the members of the early Church at Pentecost. Here at St. Agnes Church we aspire to fulfill this mission through participation in weekly prayer meetings where people of all ages, especially families, worship our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration. We praise Him through music, song, and prayer. By experiencing His presence; this helps us to keep Him with us in our daily lives. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month from 7:00 to 9:00 pm in the Daily Mass Chapel, where gifts of the Holy Spirit are expressed in community prayer.

The Legion of Mary is “a lay apostolic association of Catholics who, with the sanction of the Church and under the powerful leadership of Mary Immaculate, Mediatrix of All Graces, serve the Church and their neighbor. The object of the Legion of Mary is the glory of God through the holiness of its members developed by prayer and active co-operation in Mary’s and the Church’s work. The unit of the Legion of Mary is called a praesidium, which holds a weekly meeting, where prayer is intermingled with reports and discussion. Persons who wish to join the Legion must apply for membership in a Praesidium. The Legion sees as its priority the spiritual and social welfare of each individual. The members participate in the life of the parish through visitation of families, the sick, both in their homes and in hospitals and through collaboration in every apostolic and missionary undertaking sponsored by the parish. Every legionary is required to carry out a weekly apostolic work in the spirit of faith and in union with Mary.” (legionofmary.ie/about)

St. Agnes Men of Faith encourages men to form vital relationships with other men in small groups that meet weekly. The purpose of forming these relationships is to share our faith, difficulties and struggles, to hold each other accountable, to encourage one another and to equip us for Christian service. Our Lord has called us to be holy, and so we strive to become godly husbands and fathers at home and salt and light in the workplace. We meet weekly on Saturday mornings in the social hall meeting room at 7:00 am. At the meetings, we start with a prayer, study a scripture passage and share with and encourage one another. We welcome men of all ages. If you are interested in joining, please give Phil a call.

Our mission is to promote and support:

Each one of us is called to holiness (The Universal Call to Holiness). Each person is called by God to be in relationship with God and is called to live a holy life.

Each one of us has a special calling from God. God calls us to know Him, to love Him and serve Him. We are called to discern God’s will for our lives whether it is to the Priesthood, Religious Life as a Brother or Sister, to Marriage, to the Diaconate (as a Deacon) or to the Single Life, and then to respond by following God through this calling/vocation.

The Work of Discernment. God calls those He chooses for a particular holy work. As God calls each of us to a unique calling, it is the work of the Parish Vocation Ministry, and of all of us in our parish and Church community to promote, encourage, and support one another, especially young people in their discernment of God’s calling for their lives.

Our work as a committee and as a parish is to first and foremost pray, and then to promote and offer activities that create a fertile environment so that God can plant the seed, and the Holy Spirit can water that seed in the hearts of individuals. Progress and transformation happen in God’s time; it is the work of the Vocation Ministry, our parish groups/organizations and each of our parishioners to promote the 3-fold mission of this ministry so that we prepare the way for the Lord our God to bring the harvest.

Join us every 1st Friday of the month at 6PM for a Holy Hour to pray for Vocations. Specifically we will be praying for young people to be open to the vocation/calling that the Lord has for them as a priest, religious (brother or sister), diaconate, marriage or single life. We ask you to pray for those who have discerned, and are preparing for or already living out these vocations to be faithful to this calling they have received from God.
