Legacy Fund for Saint Agnes Parish in honor of Father Flatley Our pastor, Father Brian Flatley, is leaving Saint Agnes Parish at the end of May. Father Flatley has been a “Good Shepherd”, providing pastoral leadership and spiritual guidance to help this faith community praise God and serve our neighbor lovingly. The excellent condition of our Church, Rectory, Parish Center, Schools and Fidelity House testify to his concern about the property. We have established a Legacy Fund to honor Father Flatley. Proceeds from our Grand Annual Collection, intended to cover capital projects, have been used to cover operating expenses. The Flatley Legacy Fund would set aside monies for capital projects. We ask that each of you consider a generous donation towards this fund. Envelopes were mailed to parishioners; additional envelopes are available in the Church.
Legacy donations may be returned at any time. You may spread your gift in smaller payments over time. Please mark your envelope as a donation to the Flatley Legacy Fund. Gifts may also be made at www.saintagnes.net.

Meet Father DeVeer−A steadfast ministry built on respect for allFather Richard “Dick” DeVeer grew up in loving family that instilled the foundational values of his ministry: respect and joy.

As a �re chaplain, he answered the call to serve at Ground Zero after 9/11.
