On April 6, 2025, the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes and their associates celebrated the formal commitment of three new associates. CSA Associates are a community of women and men called by the Spirit to embody the charism, mission, and spirituality
of the Sisters of St. Agnes. Committing to the associate relationship includes a year of discernment with a spiritual mentor and concludes with a prayer service during which the associates offer a personal statement.

I have more opportunities to pray since I started the associate discernment process, and they warm my heart. I have never stopped praying. -  Lynette Duley

I feel called to share my light with others. I want nothing more than to be such a beacon for those I meet. I long to reflect the love of God which I have received.  – Kathy Grochowski

Captured by the charism and mission of CSA, I am basking in the graces of participation, open to join with sisters and associates in creating awareness and contributing positive momentum to change that will be necessary for the survival and flourishing of what is good, striving toward building the dream of love that cares for the disadvantaged, marginalized, abused, belittled, rejected people and places both in the world around us and deep within each of us.  – Doug Stadler
