Wishing you a blessed New Year!

Loving God,
as we enter this new year of 2026,
we place all that we are and all that we serve
into Your Divine Heart.
We thank You for the gift of life,
for each resident entrusted to our care,
for their wisdom, their stories,
their quiet strength and enduring faith.
Help us to see You in every face,
especially in moments of fragility and need.

Lord Jesus,
teach us to serve with gentleness and patience,
to honor the dignity of every person,
and to be instruments of Your peace
within our home and beyond its walls.
Inflame our hearts with Your love,
that we may love as You love—
faithfully, generously, and without measure.
May our words bring comfort,
our hands bring healing,
and our presence bring hope.

Holy Spirit,
guide us throughout this year.
Strengthen our team members, bless our families,
and fill St. Agnes Home with compassion, joy, and trust.
May all who enter here feel welcomed, cherished, and safe.

Mary, our Mother,
walk with us in the days ahead.
Lead us always closer to your Son
as we strive to See, Serve, and Love God in All.

We ask this with grateful hearts,
trusting in Your providence,
today and throughout the year to come.
Amen.

Please give Catholic on Giving Tuesday, December 2.

At St. Agnes Home, our residents love spending time outdoors—enjoying the sunshine, fresh air, and the beauty of our grounds. This year, through our campaign, we are raising funds to create more comfortable and welcoming outdoor gathering spaces for our residents and their guests.

Your generosity will help us add two gazebos with outdoor furniture and a sun shade sail in our Care Center Courtyard. These additions will provide shaded, inviting areas where residents can relax, visit with family, and enjoy God’s creation—while being protected from the sun.

With your support, we can make our beautiful property even more accessible and enjoyable for all who call St. Agnes Home their home.
