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!
If you have any questions, please contact our Summer Series Coordinator, Mrs. Miriam Naughton.
This unique opportunity allows students to build their skills during the summer. Meeting twice a week for 5 weeks, middle school musicians will prepare for a performance on August 17th. One year of experience is required. Missing a practice or two is acceptable.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Level I Part 1 Training

Cost: $330
Age Range: Adults who have completed Level I Part I
Dates: June 10-15

Enrollment: 12-15
Location: UAC Conference Room & CGS Atrium space
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, 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.
Course Objectives
Ø To explore with participants the general developmental characteristics and religious characteristics of the 3-6-year-old child.
Ø To facilitate meditation on the biblical and liturgical themes of CGS.
Ø To offer guidelines and assistance to catechists for setting up an atrium for 3-6-year-olds, preparing an album, and making materials.
Ø To deepen participants’ ability to observe and learn from children while also exploring avenues for deepening parental and congregational ability to observe and learn from children.
