Through the great generosity of a FSSP priest serving the Diocese of Fort Wayne – South Bend, the Oratory of the Holy Family has been graced with a relic of St. Agnes of Rome, Virgin and Martyr.  This early saint is mentioned in the Litany of Saints and has been recognized by the Church as an outstanding example of faith.

It is fitting that we will have as our intercessor a saint who pursued purity to perfection.  Not only in her pursuit of chastity, but as an even greater call to do only the will of God. It was her pursuit of chastity that kept her pure, it was her pursuit of God’s love that called her to martyrdom.  

The Oratory of the Holy Family is very graced to have her be a part of our Mission.  We pray for her to intercede for us, our pilgrims and all who seek Our Lady’s healing.
