 Online Athletic Tickets


Saint Agnes as well as many of our opponents are beginning to use Bound as our online ticket Box Office. While Saint Agnes continues to provide both cash and online payment options, many other schools do not. Online Ticket Link: https://gobound.com/mn/schools/stagnes/tickets

Flowers for the Dominican Sisters' Chapel

Please sign up to bring flowers for the Dominican Sisters’ chapel. This is the chapel on the second floor of our school building where the Sisters pray daily (and our students are frequently visiting the Blessed Sacrament as well). The sign-up link is: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090F4BADAE29AAF58-65475840-flowers#/. The flowers needed are 4 bunches of flowers and 2 bunches of greens. These are quite affordable at Trader Joe’s or other grocery stores. Carnations and lilies are wonderful as they have a long life. Thank you for helping make God’s house beautiful!
