School Song
-
We seek a trail to follow
A cause for which to stand
We seek a valiant leader
Who could our love command -
We seek a stirring challenge
Some noble work to try
To give our life fulfillment
Our dreams to satisfy -
We find them in the shepherd
The life, the truth, the way
Beneath his crook we take our stand
And follow him everyday -
St. Agnes is our patron
Of love and purity
Our motto guides us onward
To work with dignity
Do well all that you do
To God and world be true
To strive to know life's purpose
To solve its mystery
To God and world be true
To strive to know life's purpose
To solve its mystery
