A Festival of Lessons & Carols for Advent - Wednesday, December 2nd

Join us in-person and online on our Youtube Channel as members of the St. Agnes Schola Cantorum sing for the annual Advent Lessons & Carols. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, some aspects of this service will be modified, but we hope this will be a thrilling and moving way to ring in the season of Advent. Let us know if you are attending (in person or on YouTube) by signing up on Eventbrite!

Christmas Novena Prayer

The Saint Andrew Christmas Novena starts on Monday, November 30th. It is piously believed that whoever recites this prayer fifteen (15) times each day from the feast of St. Andrew (November 30th) until Christmas Eve (December 24th) will obtain the favor requested.

Temporary Suspension of Limits on Charitable Contributions

In most cases, the amount of charitable contributions taxpayers can deduct on Schedule A of their taxes is limited to a percentage (usually 60 percent) of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income. This year, for 2020, individuals may deduct qualified contributions of up to 100 percent of their adjusted gross income.

To qualify, the contribution must be: 

• made by check, cash, or credit card; online or by mail
• made payable to a qualifying organization; Saint Agnes Church
• made during the calendar year 2020

A corporation may deduct qualified contributions of up to 25 percent of its taxable income. Any contributions made by a corporation that exceed the 25% amount can carry over to the next tax year.

Eldery Phone Call Catch-Up

The Young Professionals of St. Agnes would like to partner with the elderly of the Church, especially those who are alone or lonely at this time, in a socially distant but friendly weekly phone call. If you would like to sign up as a Young Professional or as one of the elderly who is a friend/parishioner of St. Agnes, please to reach out to Anna Megan at the rectory office at (212) 682‑5722 or church@stagneschurchnyc.org. We would be glad to match you with someone during these difficult times. Need a little extra help with a food store or drug store delivery? Just say so! All services will be provided free of charge on the availability of the volunteering parties.
