Grainfield, KS : Organization : St. Agnes Catholic Church

The St. Agnes Catholic Church in Grainfield, Kansas provides many avenues in which Catholic members can further their religious devotions.

St. Agnes CCD provides quality religious education with small town values, making a lasting impression on a child’s development from first grade through Post-Confirmation Religious Education and Sacramental Preparation. In addition, the St. Agnes Ladies and Knights of Columbus serve the local community by assisting with funeral dinners and fund raisers benefiting the community.
