Welcome to St. Agnes Cathedral School

Welcome to the Website of St. Agnes Cathedral School. Please feel free to peruse the website to learn about the history of the school, its mission, curriculum, students, faculty, staff, and programs.
Founded in 1917, the school, in its second century of educating God's Greatest Gift, Our Children, continues to provide a spiritually rich and challenging academic program for Catholic children in grades K-8. The commitment of clergy, administrators, faculty, staff, and parents to ongoing growth and quality has resulted in recognition by the United States Department of Education as a National School of Excellence.
St. Agnes Cathedral School is one of the largest K-8 parish elementary schools in the Diocese of Rockville Centre.Mrs. Cecilia St. John, Principal

Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
And a voice came from the heavens, saying,
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
Religion Trivia: Who were the only three people born without Original Sin?
~Christ's Baptism Foreshadows Our Own~
At first glance, the Baptism of the Lord might seem an odd feast. Since the Catholic Church teaches that the Sacrament of Baptism is necessary for the remission of sins, particularly Original Sin, why was Christ baptized? After all, He was born without Original Sin, and He lived His entire life without sinning. Therefore, He had no need of the sacrament, as we do.
In submitting Himself humbly to the baptism of St. John the Baptist, however, Christ provided the example for the rest of us. If even He should be baptized, though He had no need of it, how much more should the rest of us be thankful for this sacrament, which frees us from the darkness of sin and incorporates us into the Church, the life of Christ on earth! His Baptism, therefore, was necessary--not for Him, but for us.
Many of the Fathers of the Church, as well as the medieval Scholastics, saw Christ's Baptism as the institution of the sacrament. His Flesh blessed the water, and the descent of the Holy Spirit (in the form of a dove) and the voice of God the Father announcing that this was His Son, in Whom He was well pleased, marked the beginning of Christ's public ministry.
Answer to Religion Trivia:
Jesus, Mary, and St. John the Baptist. When St. John leapt in his mother's womb upon Mary's visit, he was cleansed of Original Sin, therefore being born without it.
