Our Effetá youth group had an unforgettable night exploring the St. Agnes campus for their Saint Scavenger Hunt! From finding St. Joseph by the stained glass to discovering St. Francis where the cleaning supplies are kept, the clues led to laughter, teamwork, and learning about the saints in the most creative way.

We gathered our middle and high school students for a beautiful night of adoration, reflection, and friendship — a time to pray, to find peace, and to simply be together. Because when two or more are gathered in His name, He is truly among us.

On Saturday, November 1st, the Solemnity of All Saints, we joyfully celebrated the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony of our beloved parishioners Grehyni and Alejandro Rodriguez, who faithfully serve in so many ministries of our parish, always placing Christ at the center of their lives.

A joyful morning for our community of Key Biscayne! We celebrated the Ribbon Cutting of our new field alongside Bishop Enrique Delgado, Mayor Joe Rasco, Father Juan Carlos Paguaga, our Principal Luisa Serratore, Business Manager Anabel Stevens, our Parochial Vicar Fr. Jorge Reyes, and many of our city’s wonderful representatives. Students were the first to try it out — what a blessing!

What a weekend retreat the Effeta #15 it has been, truly filled with God’s mercy. Hearts were transformed, friendships were formed in Christ, and lives were renewed by His grace. Our youth is filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit!

The Rectory continues to move forward steadily. Inside details are now being installed, including the kitchen cabinets and final finishes. Please continue to pray for the completion of the Rectory and for all those working on this important project. Thank you for your continued generosity and support — together, we are St. Agnes!

What a beautiful Emmaus Women’s Retreat it was. We are grateful for the Lord’s goodness and faithfulness that filled every moment of this powerful weekend, every heart that encountered Him through this community and family of St. Agnes.

Those who attended shared how truly incredible the experience was, a weekend of renewal and grace. A heartfelt thank-you to all who put so much care, time, and love into making this possible.

On Wednesday, we celebrated a special Sending Mass for the youth serving at the Effeta #15 Retreat this weekend.

May the Holy Spirit open their hearts and the hearts of all participants to hear God’s voice and encounter His transforming love. Let us keep them all in our prayers!

Come, Holy Spirit!

Last Thursday we had a great night diving into trivia with the saints and reflecting on our universal call to holiness. We learned that the more we imitate Christ, the more we become who God created us to be.

We rejoice with Gabriela and José Manuel as they celebrated the beautiful Sacrament of Holy Matrimony at St. Agnes. May the Lord bless their marriage with abundant grace, lasting joy, and a lifelong love rooted in faith.

The St. Agnes Rectory is coming together beautifully! The walls are painted, and the stained glass windows are now in place in the Chapel, filling the rooms with light and color.

We’re grateful for everyone’s continued prayers and support as we move closer to completing this new home for our priests.

Dear St. Agnes Families,

Eight years ago, a small group of six young girls asked to gather on Monday nights to adore the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. What began as a humble desire to sing to Him has become something beautiful, a living tradition that continues to draw hearts closer to Jesus every week.

Dear Parish Family,

It fills me with great joy to share that one of our own, Alicia Poma, a 4th-grade student at St. Agnes Academy, was named first runner-up in the inaugural “Why I Love My Village” essay contest here in Key Biscayne.

The construction of our new Rectory continues to make wonderful progress! Take a look at the “before and after” photos, what a transformation!

We thank all who have supported this project through prayer and generosity, and we ask you to continue praying for its successful completion.

What a joyful and moving Closing Mass for the Men’s Emmaus Retreat! Hearts were renewed, faith was strengthened, and brotherhood filled the room.

May the flame of this encounter continue to shine brightly in their lives and in our parish community.

We joined in thanksgiving for the First Profession of Vows of our Brothers from the Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary (SCTJM), including St. Agnes Academy Religion teacher, Br. Juanmaria José of the Oblative Love of the Suffering Servant, SCTJM.

This Sunday at the 10:00 AM Mass, our confirmandi will be introduced and presented to the parish community. We pray that their time of preparation may lead them to holiness of heart.

Meanwhile, the parents of our Confirmation and First Communion candidates have also begun their preparation meetings with Sister María José. Let us keep both parents and children in our prayers as they walk together in faith.

This week our middle schoolers came together for games, pizza, and fellowship. We reflected on what it means to be charitable, to grow in Christ-likeness, and how to remove the obstacles that block our view of God and His Cross.

This week at Mass we celebrated the Sending Blessing of the servers for the Men’s Emmaus Retreat #50.

We ask you to keep in prayer all the servers and the caminantes (first-time retreatants) as they embark on this powerful encounter with Christ this weekend. May the Holy Spirit strengthen and guide them in this great mission.

Last night we officially launched our High School Youth Group — Abide! We shared pizzas, got to know each other, and reflected on Pope Leo XIV’s words about how true friendship in Christ can change the world.

Thank you to all who came! May we continue to walk together, rooted in God’s Word, and be there for one another.
