Just renewed piety and commitment to orthodoxy at St. Agnes Church: The prelature of Opus Dei has accepted Cardinal Timothy Dolan’s invitation to assume responsibility for the pastoral care and administration of St. Agnes — the well-known parish serving the area around New York City’s Grand Central Terminal.

Though the parish only has 350 parishioners on its register, it offers six Masses a day to serve the business and commuter population in the vicinity. The parish has offered a traditional Latin Mass on Sunday mornings for many years. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is offered every afternoon until 5pm, and Communion is received kneeling.

So very glad to hear this. St. Agnes was my Parish growing up in the 50’s. My siblings & I all received our Sacraments at St. Agnes Church. My brother, sister & I went to St. Agnes elementary school. My brother went to St. Agnes Boys High School. I still go into Manhattan to attend the Latin Mass every month.

I understand, but it seems that Opus Dei has become harsh on discipline nowadays.

YEAH!! The people couldn’t be in better care. I trust Opus Dei more than any other order.
