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.

From the Pastor

Dcn. Bob Marrinan Dcn. Brian MitchellDcn. Peter Raad

My Dear Parishioners,

January 22nd is the 47th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision (Roe vs. Wade) on abortion. According to the Ordo, “all dioceses of the United States shall observe a Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children.” It is recommended that penances be offered for all the sins against the dignity of the human person that have been committed through the heinous acts of abortion. This is also a day set aside for prayer to restore the legal guarantee of the right to life. The Masses for this day may use the prayers taken from “For Giving Thanks to God for The Gift of Human Life,” or “For the Preservation of Peace and Justice.” All human life, from the moment of conception to natural death, is a gift from God. We honor God as well as thank Him by the good way in which we make use this great gift of life on earth. Remember that God made us for Him, to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him. We can discover God in our lives and in the lives of our brothers and sisters. With God’s help, we can look for God in all situations and in each other. Therefore, in love, we are called to follow His will for us, to seek His Wisdom, and to strive to have great respect for all of His creation. Let us all respect the great gift of life with which God has entrusted to us.

Your Pastor,

Fr. Guadagnoli

Segundo domingo del tiempo ordinario 19 de enero 2020

Del PastorMis queridos feligreses,

El 22 de enero es el 47 aniversario de la decisión de la Corte Suprema (Roe vs. Wade) sobre el aborto. Según el Ordo, “todas las diócesis de los Estados Unidos celebrarán un Día de oración por la protección legal de los ninos no nacidos”. Se recomienda que se ofrezcan penitencias por todos los pecados contra la dignidad de la persona humana que se hay cometido a través de los atroces actos de aborto. Este es también un día dedicado a la oración para restaurar la garantía legal del derecho a la vida. Las Misas de este día pueden usar las oraciones especiales tomadas de “Para dar gracias a Dios por el regalo de la vida humana” o “Para la preservación de la paz y la justicia”. Toda vida humana, desde el momento de la concepción hasta la muerte natural, es un regalo de Dios. Honramos a Dios y le agradecemos a Él por la buena manera en que hacemos uso de este gran don de la vida en la tierra. Recuerde que Dios nos hizo para Él, para conocerlo, para amarlo y para servirle. Podemos descubrir a Dios en nuestras vidas y en las vidas de nuestros hermanos y hermanas. Con la ayuda de Dios, podemos buscarle en todas las situaciones y en los demás. Por lo tanto, en el amor, estamos llamados a seguir su voluntad para con nosotros, a buscar su sabiduría y esforzarnos por tener un gran respeto por toda su creación. Respetemos todos el gran regalo de la vida que Dios nos ha confiado.
