All Souls Day Mass Invitation

We would like to extend a special invitation to all Saint Agnes School families to attend this year’s Requiem Mass tonight on All Souls Day, Monday, November 2 at 6:30 p.m. The Mass features a beloved musical masterpiece by the world-renowned composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. But this year, it is particularly special because Saint Agnes is privileged to welcome Kurt Cardinal Koch, Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity as the celebrant.

A light dessert reception sponsored by the parish Altar and Rosary Society follows immediately after Mass (approximately 8:15 p.m.) in the school Commons, where you will have a chance to greet the Cardinal. If you have never experienced this Mass of our beloved dead with this powerful musical accompaniment, we hope you may be able to do so this year.
