This past weekend, our catechumens celebrated the Second Scrutiny, an important step in their preparation to receive the Sacraments of Initiation at Easter.

Guided by our Religious Education Department and supported by our parish family, they continue this beautiful journey of conversion, prayer, and trust in the Lord.

Let us keep in our prayers: Benjamin Medina, Isaac Medina, Benjamin Sanchez, Vicente Ferrer, Yeleny Magdaleno, Agustina Sanchez, Orieta La Rosa, and Samuel Levin.

May Christ strengthen their hearts and lead them ever closer to the fullness of life in His Church.

As they prepare to say their “yes” to Christ, let us pray for them!

This past weekend, an Emmaus Women’s Retreat was held at the Homestead Correctional Institution as part of the mission and outreach of the Archdiocese of Miami. It was an incredible and deeply moving experience marked by prayer, encounter, and the healing mercy of God.

We are especially proud and grateful that many of the parishioners who served on the retreat team were from our own St. Agnes community. Their generous witness, compassion, and willingness to accompany others made this weekend a true sign of hope and faith in action.

It was a powerful reminder that Christ meets us everywhere, and that through service, we become instruments of His love and mercy.

What a beautiful evening at St. Agnes as so many gathered to celebrate the Solemnity of St. Joseph and take part in the Consecration to this great saint, Patron of the Universal Church.

Surrounded by lilies, the flower traditionally associated with St. Joseph and his purity and faithful love, our community came together in prayer to entrust our lives, families, and parish to his powerful intercession. We are especially grateful to Fr. Reyes for leading us in this meaningful celebration, and to those who generously volunteered their time to helping make this moment possible. It was truly a grace-filled night, a reminder of St. Joseph’s quiet strength, protection, and guidance in our lives.

St. Joseph, faithful protector of the Holy Family, pray for us.

We joyfully celebrate the Baptism of Luciano Ramirez Poleo, who has been welcomed into the life of Christ and His Church. May he grow surrounded by faith, the love of his family, and the grace of God. Welcome to our parish family, Luciano!

We rejoice with María Corona Wallis & Federico Cuevas as they celebrated the beautiful Sacrament of Holy Matrimony at St. Agnes Catholic Parish. Surrounded by family, friends, and the grace of God, they began their new life together united in Christ’s love.

We rejoice in the Holy Baptism of Lucca Rojas, embraced with great love by his family. May the light of Christ shine brightly in his life as he journeys forward in God’s love. Welcome to the family of God, Lucca!

From the moment of arrival, hearts were ready. What unfolded was far more than a workshop, it was a true encounter with the healing love of God and His Holy Spirit. Guided by special guests, and supported by dedicated organizers and intercessors, our parish welcomed a day filled with praise, teaching, prayer, and deep spiritual renewal.

This Ash Wednesday, over 2,662 people attended Mass throughout the day to begin the sacred season of Lent together. Marked with ashes and the words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return,” we were reminded of our need for conversion and our call to return to the Lord with humble hearts.

For the first time, our Religious Education students participated in the burning of last year’s palms to prepare the ashes for Ash Wednesday. This meaningful tradition helped them understand the journey from Palm Sunday to the Cross — and the call to conversion as we enter the holy season of Lent.

At Mass on Wednesday, Febraury 11th, Fr. Juan Carlos offered a special blessing and commissioning for those serving at the upcoming Effetá Retreat. With grateful hearts, we prayed over these young men and women as they prepare to give of themselves in service, guiding others toward a deeper encounter with Christ. May the Holy Spirit lead them, strengthen them, and work powerfully through their witness.

On Candlemas, we celebrated the Presentation of the Lord, remembering the moment when Jesus was brought to the Temple and revealed as the Light for all nations. With the blessing of candles, we were reminded that Christ is our light, guiding our steps and illuminating our lives. May we carry His light into the world with faith, hope, and love.

On the Feast of St. Blaise, our parish gathered for Holy Mass and the traditional Blessing of the Throats, asking for the saint’s intercession for protection from illness and for the gift of health. It was a beautiful moment of prayer and trust in God’s healing grace, rooted in the faith of the Church and the care of our community.

Join every Friday at 11:00 AM on Radio Paz for the program “Por Amor a Cristo,” led by Fr. Juan Carlos Paguaga and Carlos Oramas. Each week, the program offers reflections on faith, daily Christian living, and discipleship, inviting listeners to grow closer to Christ and to live the Gospel with greater intention and love in everyday life. Tune in and be encouraged through thoughtful conversation, prayer, and reflections rooted in our Catholic faith.

We joyfully celebrated the 103rd birthday of our dear parishioner Gracielita, one of the oldest and most cherished members of our St. Agnes family. Her life is a testament to faith, perseverance, and grace. Happy Birthday, Gracielita!

We joyfully celebrated the Feast Day of St. Agnes, our beloved patron saint, with the celebration of Holy Mass and hearts lifted in gratitude for her witness of faith, courage, and purity. St. Agnes’ life continues to inspire our parish community to remain faithful to Christ with joy and steadfast love. May her example guide us, and may her intercession strengthen us as we walk together in faith. St. Agnes, pray for us.

On the Feast Day of St. Agnes, we gathered with the wonderufl volunteers that make St. Agnes such a special, vibrant parish, and we celebrated fellowship in a joyful spirit. Thank you, volunteers, for making all this possible! Together, we are St. Agnes.

What a blessing to gather for morning formation with our catechists, led by Sr. María José. We are deeply grateful for each catechist who serves our Religious Education and Faith Formation programs with love, commitment, and faith. St. Agnes is truly blessed by their generosity and their hearts for Christ and His Church.

Our beloved parishioners, Gladys and Felix Rodriguez, celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary with a special blessing from Fr. Juan Carlos during the January 16th Mass. What a beautiful and inspiring witness of lifelong love, faith, joy, and commitment to one another and to Christ. May God continue to bless their marriage and their entire family abundantly.

On Christmas Day, our priests were able to move into the newly completed Rectory, a truly joyful and meaningful moment for our parish. We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported this project through prayers, generosity, and encouragement throughout the entire process. Having our priests living on campus is a great blessing for St. Agnes, strengthening our parish life and fostering deeper pastoral care and presence among us. Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are St. Agnes.
