A Message from
our Rector
On
behalf of Bishop Barres and the
entire Pastoral Staff of St. Agnes,
I extend prayerful best wishes for a
Blessed and Joyous Easter. While
Easter on our secular calendars is
designated this year as April 21st,
as a Church, we celebrate Easter Day
for an entire Octave of Days. May
our Easter Alleluias deepen with
each passing day of this coming week
as well as throughout the “Great
Fifty Days” that go from Easter to
Pentecost.
Having
experienced the Resurrection of our
Lord, we read in the Gospels and
Acts of the Apostles the stories of
the early Church and the dramatic
missionary growth that took place
those many years ago. These stories
tell of the women at the tomb, the
two travelers on the road to Emmaus
and the Apostles in the Upper Room
all encountering our Risen Lord; and
from this encounter, they go forth
to proclaim the Good News. Having
met Jesus through the Sacraments,
the Word of God and the Church
gathered to celebrate these holiest
of days, may we too go forth to
proclaim the Good News — the Gospel
of the Lord!
In the Peace and Love of Christ,
Monsignor
William E. Koenig
Rector
