A Fantastic Fall

Welcome back! Saint Agnes kicks off 2012-13 school year with a bang...

Welcome back to you, students, parents and friends of Saint Agnes School and the Capstone Seminar!

Lewis (NOW DONE) De Incarnatione (On the Incarnation) - St. Athanasius (NOW DONE) The Confessions of Saint Augustine (Currently reading) The Rule of Saint Benedict The Consolation of Philosophy - Boethius Proslogium / Fides Quaerens Intellectum (Faith Seeking Understanding) - St. Anselm "Treatise on Law" (from the Summa) - St. Thomas Aquinas Please check back for more updates soon! -Capstone Faculty Mr. Blonigen Mr. DeJak Mr. Adkins

Capstone Summer Dinner

Saint Agnes School's annual Red & White Benefit Dinner offered an evening of edification whereby Capstone teachers Mr. John DeJak, Mr. Fred Blonigen and Mr. Michael Adkins prepared and served an Austrian themed meal. Dr. DeJak prepared the entire dinner from scratch, revealing his culinary prowess. We were graced with the presence of Fr. Mark Moriarty, new Pastor and Superintendent of Saint Agnes! Fr. Moriarty was doing some last-minute moving and we had an extra plate of veal for him. He began his tenure as Pastor of the Church of Saint Agnes on Sunday, July 1st. We are very excited and blessed to have him. Many thanks to all who attended!

Graduation 2012

Below, senior and Valedictorian of the Class of 2012, Rose, sits in glory after finishing her Capstone oral exam. (We let the students sit in the dean's chair during orals!) This fall, Rose will head off to Creighton University to major in Biology/Pre-Medicine. She has made the faculty of Saint Agnes School very proud.
