CHURCH CARE
Help to make our church presentable for worship! These groups of parishioners clean the church every other week on Monday morning. The group vacuums, dusts, and cleans the restrooms. The different teams (men and women) are asked to clean approximately five times a year and normally involve between one and one-half hour to two hours each time.
St. Agnes holds their summer festival on the first Sunday in August.
The whole community is invited for games, food, raffles, and a silent auction. The festival is our parish fundraiser, aiding St. Agnes in offsetting operation costs.
Volunteers are needed in many roles, large and small, to support this endeavor.

The Ministry of Praise is a prayer ministry for elders, homebound, sick and disabled parishioners. People who join this ministry remember the needs of the parish, the church, and the world in their daily prayers. Members pay no dues, have no meetings, but are given a prayer booklet and receive a monthly letter with prayer intentions and suggestions.
Prayer shawls are available to anyone going through a difficult time or has an illness and needs to feel God's presence in their lives and know they are prayed for by St. Agnes Parish members.
If you know someone in need of prayer, stop in the Parish Office to pick up a shawl or call to arrange for the pastoral staff to bring a shawl and pray with them.
New volunteers are always welcome to use their talents to create the prayer shawls!
Members pray for the intentions of parishioners. Contact the parish office if in need of prayer or to join the Prayer Vine.
The Serra Club is an international organization of lay people that works to promote, support and pray for vocations to priesthood and religious life. The West Side Serra club meets the 2nd Friday of every month at St. Agnes following the 6:45am Mass.
Each meeting is an opportunity to grow in your personal faith as well as your understanding and appreciation for religious vocations. Speakers each month provide insights into the ministry happening in our Diocese and present ways to get involved. Some club activities include a Sisters Night Out, a summer picnic, a Christmas party for Seminarians, and the opportunity to go on Retreat with our Seminarians.
WHOM SHALL I SEND
HERE I AM... SEND ME~ISAIAH 6:8
COMMUNITY
The true worth of a society can be measured by the care it takes for the least of its members. St. Vincent de Paul Society is concerned with ministry to the least of our sisters and brothers in Christ. If you have a compassion for others, a desire to combat hunger, homelessness, and poverty, consider becoming a Vincentian.
All parish women are invited and encouraged to become members of the Community of Christian Women (CCW). Our goal is to provide fellowship, prayer and fun, while striving to benefit the less fortunate and our own parish.
Catholic men from the west side of Green Bay are invited to join Knights of Columbus Green Bay Council 617. This is our local council of the national Knights of Columbus organization.
Opportunities for fellowship for men of the parish include: Booyah, Fisherman's Night Out, and Steak Night. Funds raised support various projects and ministries.
The Peace and Social Justice Committee meets on the first Tuesday of the month from 6:00-7:30 pm. The primary objective is serving a meal once each month at the NEW Community Shelter. Over 30 parish volunteers rotate to help accomplish this objective by baking cookies or serving the meal.
The committee keeps St. Agnes Parish informed of Respect Life/Pro-Life issues; encourages education and knowledge of current happenings; provides materials and symbols to increase awareness; and communicates with political action and prayer networks.
Committee meetings and the agenda vary depending on particular needs of the pro-life movement and desires of parishioners.
