Mission Statement
We, the people of St. Monica Catholic Church, are called through Baptism to celebrate the presence of Jesus Christ in Word and Sacrament. In becoming what we receive, we are sent in peace to glorify
the Lord by sharing our gifts in service to others and by inviting all into a deeper relationship with Christ. Inspired by our patroness, St. Monica, we pray that all may become children of heaven.

Third Sunday of Lent March 7, 2021
From the Pastor
Dcn. Abel CortesDcn. Larry Lucido
Dcn. Bob MarrinanDcn. Peter Raad
My Dear Parishioners,
On the third, fourth, and fifth Sundays of Lent, Holy Mother the Church solemnly celebrates the Scrutinies with those in Christian Initiation who seek entry into the Church. The Scrutinies are “rites for self-searching and repentance” that help to “heal all that is weak, defective, or sinful in the hearts of the elect,” as well as “to bring out, then strengthen all that is upright, strong, and good.” (from Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults). We could all use a little “scrutiny” in our own lives in order to guard against temptation and get out from under the power of evil that oftentimes has a subtle hold on us. In year B, the gospel is about Jesus cleansing the temple. We can ask Jesus to help us cleanse the temple of our bodies. “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?” (1 Cor. 6:19). Prayer, fasting and almsgiving help in this effort. But let us not stop there! If we find something wrong, let us choose something right and get back on track! Let us choose Christ and encourage others to likewise. Your Pastor,Fr. Guadagnoli
Time Springs Forward one hour next weekend on Sunday, March 14th! Please reset your clocks.

Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma 7 de marzo 2021
Del PastorMis queridos feligreses,
El tercer, cuarto y quinto domingo de Cuaresma, la Santa Madre Iglesia celebra solemnemente los Escrutinios con las personas en Iniciación Cristiana que buscan entrar en la Iglesia. Los Escrutinios son “ritos de auto-búsqueda y arrepentimiento” que ayudan a “sanar todo lo que es débil, defectuoso o pecaminoso en el corazón de los elegidos”, así como “sacar y luego fortalecer todo lo que es recto, fuerte, y bueno.” (de Ritos de iniciación cristiana de adultos). Todos podríamos usar un poco de “escrutinio” en nuestras propias vidas para protegernos de la tentación y salir del poder del mal que a menudo tiene un sutil control sobre nosotros. En el año B, el Evangelio nos habla de Jesús limpiando el templo. Podemos pedirle a Jesús que nos ayude a limpiar el templo de nuestro cuerpo. “¿No sabes que tu cuerpo es un templo del Espíritu Santo dentro de ti, que tienes de Dios, y que no eres tuyo?” (1 Corintios 6:19). La oración, el ayuno y la limosna ayudan en este esfuerzo. ¡Pero no nos detengamos ahí! Si encontramos algo mal, ¡escojamos algo correcto y volvamos al camino! Elijamos a Cristo y animemos a otros a hacer lo mismo.
