    The Flag of St. Agnes is flying everywhere in this world because thousands of Agnesians have migrated to several parts of the world with their talents and with their intellectual strength. They have earned the best of Education thru the A.C nuns and most of the Agnesians have prospered wherever they went and whatever they did. I have a classic example within the four walls of my own house in Texas.

    Amongst so many notable accomplishments of St Agnes that we have witnessed, the most impressive one is their dedication towards the Special Education where hundreds of students - both male and female appear at the Special Education school and spend their time usefully and wisely each day. So many parents cherish a smile each day when their child goes to St. Agnes School of Special Education and spend their time happily with hundreds of other students. Sr. Maria Jyoti, St. Olivia and Sr. Maria Shruthy are amongst many other nuns that have given their best towards the Special Education students. They also have a fine faculty who take of the children lovinly and give them very best throughout the day.
