Cardinal Seán has directed that Saint Agnes and Saint Camillus Parishes will begin as a collaborative in June of next year, 2018. A collaborative is a structure within which several distinct parishes cooperate, to combine resources such as priests, staff and finances, to put toward our global effort of evangelization. Within the collaborative, our two parishes will begin this collaboration by sharing a pastor. We will share parochial vicars and key staff members. It is likely that the priests will live together in one rectory. The parishes will not combine bank accounts. Our offertories, and sacramental records, and capital needs will all be tracked separately.

We hear Jesus say to us “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” The challenge is to let go so God can lead us. Have you considered answering the call to help serve the poor by joining the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul?

People living with depression : The Saint Agnes Depression Support Group will meet at 6:30 PM on Thursday , September 28, in the Parish Center. All are welcome - please join us! If you have any questions please contact Karen Celano at [email protected] or 516-946-6287.
