[quote=Anonymous]We attend St. Agnes.  I'm sure folks will say that it's "conservative" relative to many parishes, and that's fair enough.  While my personal view is that applying these sorts of labels tends to blur a murky line between theology and politics in a way that is unfortunate and not always appropriate, you obviously have a feel for what you're looking for so take it for what it's worth.

So with that said, I really would urge you to check it out.  The pastor has put a noticeable (and noticeably successful) emphasis on expanding the sense of parish community through various activities, whether it's youth groups, potluck trivia nights, or more religiously focused activities.  Lots of families, both old and new.  In addition, they are in the early stages of facility capital improvements to better accommodate all of the activities that the parish supports (and wants to support), and of course, it has a solid elementary school if that will be of interest to you at any point.

From a religious perspective, the mass is of course the mass.  But I have found that the priests give good homilies (and I originally come from a protestant tradition where that is a little more important).  There is something for both the mind and the heart, that does not "talk down" to you, and leaves you with some practical things to think about when you leave.  The priests have previously lived in the "real world", and are engaged.

Best of luck and God bless.  [/quote]
