Join St. Agnes for a TREE PLANTING EVENT April 26th from 9-3PM!

In celebration of Earth Week and in honor of Pope Francis, the Landscape Committee asks that we join together for a tree planting event to improve the environment and grounds of St. Agnes. We will begin the day with a prayer with Fr. Andy in front of the church as we remember Pope Francis who called us to plant seeds of peace and hope.

After that, we will plant a wide variety of trees and plants. This project is part of the Greening Community Grant from Chesapeake Bay Trust and includes trees donated by the Cacapon Institute.

Everyone is welcome. St. Agnes will supply coffee, snacks, and lunch. We are looking for volunteers of all levels to plant, prune, and weed.

Dress for the weather and be ready to have fun and get dirty!
