Summer Series
Welcome to Saint Agnes Summer Series!
Welcome to Summer at Saint Agnes School!
We are excited to invite students and adults to campus this summer, hosting a wide array of classes and camps ranging from athletics and academics to arts and adventures! Offerings range from Kindergarten age through adults. Participants do not need to be enrolled at Saint Agnes School to take part in the Summer Series offerings.
Supporting and extending our school’s apostolate, each of the classes and camps offered will honor the mission of Saint Agnes School by promoting Faith, Reason and Virtue as well as serving Christ and His Church in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.
The camps are led by members of the faculty and staff of Saint Agnes School. Let’s enjoy the summer together!

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori-based religious formation program for children, beginning at the age of three. It seeks to create and facilitate a sacred, “hands-on” space for children called an atrium, in which both the children and their catechists can hear, ponder, and celebrate the most essential mysteries of the Catholic faith as revealed in the Scriptures and the Liturgy. Originally developed in Rome by Sofia Cavalletti and Gianna Gobbi fifty years ago, the Catechesis continues to spread world-wide. This course will ground the participant in the theory and praxis of CGS while also concretely preparing him/her to develop and facilitate an atrium for 3-6-year-old children.
