St. Agnes School

Exciting news from one of our Class of 2020 alumni! 🎉 He’s headed to UCLA for early move-in day, and we’re so thrilled for this next chapter in his journey. Making it even more special, his little sister, a 3rd grader at St. Agnes, is helping him move in—and his dorm room number just happens to match her birthday! How amazing is that? ✨💙

We can’t wait to hear all about his college adventures! St. Agnes alumni, we’d love to celebrate you too—share your move-in photos with us so we can cheer you on! 🎓💛

Today, we honor the memory of one of our fallen alumni, who served bravely in the military and continues to inspire us all. Each year, his legacy is kept alive by his wife, also an alumna of St. Agnes, who honors him with a touching tribute. Their story, which was beautifully covered by *People*, reminds us of the deep bonds that connect our community and the sacrifices made for our freedom. We are forever grateful. 🙏🇺🇸

Army Widow, 43, Runs Over 90 Miles to Honor Husband on 15th Anniversary of His Death (Exclusive) Army widow Lisa Hallett ran 93 miles in Washington last month to honor the 15th anniversary of her husband John's death in Afghanistan.

Let’s take a moment to celebrate the Class of 2024, who graduated back in May! 🎓✨ We are so proud of all they accomplished and the joy they brought to our community. As they embark on their high school journey, we wish them all the luck and blessings in the world. May their faith and hard work continue to guide them to great success! 🌟🙏

Today marked a special moment as we celebrated our first Children’s Liturgy Mass since 2020! 🙏✨ It felt so nice to bring back this cherished monthly tradition. Seeing the church filled with school children and watching them engage with Father Luke during his homily was truly heartwarming. We’re so grateful to have this back in our community!
