St. Agnes has a pro-active Respect Life Committee. In addition to having a great concern for the welfare of the precious unborn and its mother, members have a strong commitment to serving people in all stages of life.

Through our diverse activities we have endeavored to support a variety of charitable organizations and facilities. The Respect Life Committee is proud to be a part of the St. Agnes community and to serve as a link between our generous fellow parishioners and those in need.

One of the practical ways we serve people is through providing dinner meals for families during difficult or challenging moments in their lives. This is a very tangible way to care for and serve those in our St. Agnes family. It can also serve as a powerful witness to the love of Christ to a friend or family member in need. Romans 12:10: “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” There are any number of challenging moments that an individual or family may face where meals would help ease the burden. A few examples: bringing home a new baby; having a family member in the hospital; a family member recovering at home from surgery or illness; the death of a loved one; a new family has just moved into the area.

If you would like to be placed on the email list to help provide a meal when a family is in need or if you know of a family in need, please contact Maryanne Tucker.

Attic Treasures Rummage Sale is usually held on a Saturday in October. Parishioners may donate items that are sold in one designated area. Parishioners also have the option to purchase a table and sell their own items. The kitchen is open for light refreshments during the sale. Volunteers are needed to take donations the Thursday and Friday before the sale and also the day of the sale (helping customers, ringing up purchases, packing up goods afterwards).

Christmas Bazaar is held typically on a weekend at the end of November or early December. It is the major fund raising event of the parish. Various tables and the kitchen are run by our parishioners and feature gifts, crafts, baked goods and household items. The Raffle Center features valuable, interesting prizes thanks to the generous donations of parishioners and local businesses. Vendors are also welcome to participate by purchasing a table.

Coach Bingo is a traditional bingo with a twist! You have the opportunity to win beautiful Coach bags. Tickets are sold in advance so look for the announcements in the Church bulletin and on our Facebook page. We limit the event to 210 people so look for those early announcements that tickets are now on sale. We also accept bag sponsorship to help offset the cost. If you are moved to sponsor a bag for $150 dollars your name or your company’s name is announced as sponsoring that bag.

Why join the Knights of Columbus? Imagine being a part of an organization that fills your heart and your mind with the joy of giving to others and the feeling that comes with making a difference. Charity is the primary principle of the Knights of Columbus and the members are quite proud and serious about this principle. Knights are Catholic men, 18 years and older, who are committed to making their community a better place, while supporting their Church. Being a Knight is more than camaraderie; it is being involved with your community; it is supporting your local Catholic Church, while enhancing your own faith; it is about protecting and enhancing your family life. Come see just what we are all about and take steps to enhance your personal life by being a Knight. We are eager to meet you.

The Knights also have a 4th degree assembly (#3321) “Blessed Pope John Paul II” which is in conjunction with St. Isidore’s Knights in Quakertown. Find out more about us by contacting any Knight of Columbus at St. Agnes Parish or visit www.kofc.org for more information.

The Lord’s Cupboard is an outreach organization made up of both men and women who give graciously of their time and talents both during the holidays and throughout the year with the focus being on charity and service toward neighbor. The Lord’s Cupboard consists of Meal-Makers who volunteer on an as-needed basis to prepare dinners for those members of our parish who could use a genuine “pick me up”, such as a patient being discharged from the hospital, a new mom, or as a thoughtful, caring gesture to a family member who has suffered the loss of a dear one.

In preparation for each holiday, season Basket-Makers organize and distribute holiday baskets. Donations of canned goods, non-perishables and gift certificates of all types are accepted at any time. These items are used to fill the baskets, help out those in need throughout the year, and if need be, aid the Meal-Makers in preparing meals. When food donations are in abundance, the Lord’s Cupboard gives to the less fortunate in our community, in the name of St. Agnes Parish.

In order for T.L.C. to be a success, we rely on the generosity of many. We count on the concern of each parish member to notify us when we can be of service to one of our brothers or sisters in Jesus. We invite you to become one with us, and give, in turn, that love which God has given you.
