St. Agatha Parish exists primarily to serve the spiritual needs of those of the Polish language and ethnicity living in the St. Louis area. We live our faith in union with the Supreme Pontiff and the Archbishop of St. Louis. While living in American society, we celebrate our heritage of rich cultural traditions. Through the intercession of Our Lady of Częstochowa, the Queen of Poland, and St. Agatha, the patron of our Parish, we seek to fulfill our calling in Jesus Christ by living out our Catholic faith in love, justice and peace.  Alleluja! Wierny lud, sławi zmartwychwstania blask. Alleluja! Pański cud, kiedyś się dokona w nas. (z polskiej pieśni wielkanocnej) Dear Parishioners, Benefactors and Friends of St. Agatha’s Church, Christ is Risen! He is truly Risen! Let me begin by extending heartfelt Easter greetings and blessings to everyone in our St. Agatha community. In our parish’s Holy Masses and in gatherings with families and friends that will follow, we celebrate the great feast of Easter. It is a celebration of joyful hope, as it should be, for Easter is the ultimate message of hope. This Easter time will also be a special occasion of gratitude, prayer for peace and renewal of our way of life. At the very heart of our Christian lives, and at the very heart of the life of the Church, is what we call ‘the Paschal Mystery’. That is our life - your life and mine. That is the Church’s mission. For Easter is about our future; Easter is your life and mine. As St Augustine proclaimed long ago, “We are Easter people and “Alleluia¨” (Praise be to God) is our song!” Thank you for supporting our Parish Church through your prayers, your generous service, and your faithful support. As we celebrate this 155th Anniversary year, I cordially encourage each of you to mark this special milestone by doing something meaningful - deepening your faith, serving others and participating in our special anniversary events. May God bless you, your loved ones, and all of us, that we may joyfully sing the triumphant “Alleluia” and faithfully live the new life it proclaims - a life renewed in Christ, filled with hope, grace, and the promise of the Resurrection. May the Risen Christ bless each of you with His peace and joy, guiding your lives with direction, purpose, and meaning, and drawing you ever more deeply into Him. May we continue to walk this journey of faith together, united in our Lord Jesus Christ. Please know that I am remembering each of you in my Easter Holy Masses and prayers, and I humbly ask that you remember me in yours Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Easter filled with joy, hope, and the deep assurance that He is Risen - indeed and forever.
