“I take special pride in the character formation my three sons received at Saint Agnes. Each is caring and empathetic with a true sense of right and wrong.”
George Forrester, father of three Saint Agnes graduates

Virtues Program

Religious instruction, weekly Mass, prayer, sacramental preparation and the Virtues Program are the cornerstones of building the faith community.

The Virtues Program is a unique aspect of faith formation at Saint Agnes Catholic School. Each month, a specific virtue of the Catholic faith serves as the focal point for school-wide activities, including

  • classroom instruction by parents and/or teachers
  • school-wide service projects
  • daily prayers or reflections about that specific virtue

See a sample of the Virtue Of Gratitude.
