Welcome to the Website of St. Agnes Cathedral School. Please feel free to peruse the website to learn about the history of the school, its mission, curriculum, students, faculty, staff, and programs. Founded in 1917, the school, in its second century of educating God's Greatest Gift, Our Children, continues to provide a spiritually rich and challenging academic program for Catholic children in grades K-8. The commitment of clergy, administrators, faculty, staff, and parents to ongoing growth and quality has resulted in recognition by the United States Department of Education as a National School of Excellence. St. Agnes Cathedral School is one of the largest K-8 parish elementary schools in the Diocese of Rockville Centre. ~Mrs. Cecilia St. John, Principal
When we say the words Lamb of God, during the Mass, we are directly quoting St. John the Baptist. The scene is on the banks of the Jordan River. John has been gathering disciples by powerfully calling for repentance in light of the coming kingdom of God. One day, as he sees Jesus, he cries out, “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!”
As a Christian trying to live a life of prayer, sometimes it can seem like God doesn’t want to be known at all. Or maybe it can even seem as though God just doesn’t exist. But God does exist—and he longs to be known! But God draws us to himself more mysteriously. We get two great examples of this in today’s readings.
First, when God is calling Samuel, it takes Samuel three times before he finally realizes God is speaking to him. And in the Gospel, Jesus simply tells his disciples, “Come and see.” This is the method of God. He doesn’t just want to give us answers, but to live life with us.
When the disciples follow Christ, the Gospel says that they “stayed with him.” When we stay with God, we can begin to hear and see clearly, and begin to find him in the quiet of our hearts.
