Recycling Events …
The Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division of Livingston County is hosting several recycling events this summer, namely for latex paints (June 25), household hazardous waste (July 19 and September 13), electronic devices (August 16), and tires (October 5). It appears you must schedule an appointment for all of these events by going to their website and following the prompts: https://milivcounty.gov/dpw
Veggie Swap News
Busy, Busy, Busy! A great description of the activity surrounding the Veggie Swap tower this spring. A wide variety of items and spring produce have come and gone. Check it out the next time you are in the Gathering Space. You might find just what you have been looking for! And speaking of veggies, here’s food for thought = nearly every store is trying to sell off their leftover veggie plants. Perhaps all you Green Thumbs could ‘adopt’ a couple/few plants with the intention of donating that produce to members of the St Agnes family? What a nifty idea!
Migrant Worker Welcome …
is also complete. Deacon Bill, Deacon Pete, & Deacon Roger thank you for your generosity as our parish was able to raise 20% more than last year! Thank you!
YOU are Totally Amazing!
Diaper Dash and Giving Mobile are now in the record books … and what a record it was! These two pictures illustrate all the donations which will be delivered to the Brighton Pregnancy Help Clinic by the St Agnes Walking with Moms in Need ministry!
What a blessing you are to those families who have chosen life!

Pope's Prayer Intentions for June 2025: That the world might grow in compassion - Let us pray that each one of us might find consolation in a personal relationship with Jesus, and from his Heart, learn to have compassion on the world.
Christian Service Office Hours
We are currently observing our traditional summer office hour schedule during June, July and August: those three months the Christian Service office will be open the 3rd Tuesday of the month from 10 AM until 12 Noon. (June 17, July 15 and August 19) Telephone messages will be attended to on an irregular schedule at least twice weekly. It is highly recommended you use email (stagnes.christianservice@gmail.com) during the summer to contact Christian Service as our account will be checked several times daily. Regular Christian Service office hours will resume the Tuesday after Labor Day (September 2).
(Non-summer office hours are Tuesdays from 10 AM-12 Noon. Additionally, the Christian Service email is checked several times a day and telephone messages are checked at least 2x/weekly. If you have a Christian Service "emergency" or if you need a timely reply, it is better to email (stagnes.christianservice@gmail.com) than to leave a voicemail.)
Please contact us if you or someone you know is in need of assistance before things get out of hand.
We are here to assist by listening, giving suggestions and/or direction for avenues of assistance, and helping in other possible ways.
