A note on our mascot
A beloved figure at Saint Agnes, our mascot was inspired by a late-18th century Pennsylvania Dutch greeting card, Angel with Tulip, found in the archives of the New York Public Library’s Picture Collection.
Reimagined by designer Océane Lunven, the illustration was gently updated to keep its soft, playful, and androgynous spirit intact. A bit dreamy, a bit peculiar, and full of heart—it’s the quiet soul of Saint Agnes.

AGNES BROWN: The Saint behind Saint Agnes
Agnes was magic. An artist, a mother, a grandmother, and the sort of person who always offered a kind word, a listening ear and a determination to find the good in most things. She was curious, funny, and wrote long letters in looping cursive.
She became my first pen pal when I was 10 years old and over decades of friendship we built up a tremendous archive. After her sudden death in 2020, I found myself in a whirwind of grief, and in the haze began to reassess how I wanted to spend my own life.
By naming my business for her, I keep her light alive and honor the parts of my own spirit that she saw, even when I couldn’t see them for myself. When I receive bundles from the flower market with her name scrawled on the brown paper, I’m given a moment to appreciate her and return to the wellspring of our love. This one’s for you, Agnes.
