The St. Monica Ministry will meet on Friday, Dec. 5, at 3p.m. in The Good Shepherd Room. We are a prayer group devoted to prayer and discussion offering members hope and support for the intervention of the souls of their family members who have fallen away the Catholic Church. We pray to our Blessed Mother and St. Monica who had prayed 17 years for the conversion of her son, St. Augustine, to Christianity.

In our monthly meetings we discuss a saint who had brought a conversion of heart to their family member(s). December's saint is St. Rita de Caseic. Additionally, we will discuss chapters 5 & 6 from the book, The Saint Monica Club: How to Wait, Hope and Pray for Your Fallen-Away Loved Ones by Maggie Green (available on Amazon). Based on one's personal schedule visits before the Blessed Sacrament are made. Please come and pray with us.

Our next meeting will take place at 3p.m. on Friday, Dec. 5, in the Good Shepherd Room. Please come and pray with us. For questions, please email Helen Chapman at htchap@msn.com.
