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

My Dear Parishioners,

In October of the Marian Year of 1954, Pope Pius XII issued an encyclical “Ad Caeli Reginam” (On the Royal Dignity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Institution of Her Feast) proclaiming the Queenship of Mary, and decreeing that the feast of Our Lady’s Queenship be celebrated throughout the world on May 31st. It has since been moved to August 22. On May 13th of the following year, in a radio message to Fatima the Pope explained why Mary is entitled to be called Queen. In that address he said: “Jesus is King throughout all eternity by nature and by right of conquest. Through Him, with Him, and subordinate to Him, Mary is Queen by grace, by divine relationship, by right of conquest, and by singular election.”(Fr. Paul A. Duffner, O.P.) The Holy Father hailed the reign of Mary as Queen of Heaven over the angels, the saints, and the entire human race. He asked the special aid of the Queen of heaven and earth for those who do not yet know her divine Son, and for the persecuted members of the Church that they may never yield under unjust compulsion. Pope Pius XII knew of the powerful prayers of Our Lady: “Constituted by the Lord as Queen of Heaven and earth, and exalted above all the choirs of Angels and the ranks of the Saints in heaven, standing at the right hand of Her only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, She petitions most powerfully with Her maternal prayers, and obtains what She seeks.”

In Christ,Fr. Guadagnoli

Vigésimo domingo del tiempo ordinario 18 de agosto 2019

Del PastorMis queridos feligreses,

En octubre del año mariano de 1954, el papa Pío XII emitió una encíclica “Ad Caeli Reginam” (SOBRE LA REALEZA DE LA SANTÍSIMA VIRGEN MARÍA Y LA INSTITUCIÓN DE SU FIESTA) proclamando el reinado de María y decretando que la fiesta de “Bienaventurada María Virgen Reina” se celebraría en todo el mundo cada 31 de mayo. Despues se trasladó al 22 de agosto. El 13 de mayo del año siguiente, en un mensaje de radio a Fátima, el Papa explicó por qué María tiene derecho a ser llamada Reina. En ese discurso dijo: “Jesús es Rey por toda la eternidad por naturaleza y por derecho de conquista. A través de Él, con Él y subordinada a Él, María es Reina por gracia, por relación divina, por derecho de conquista y por singular elección “. (P. Paul A. Duffner, OP) El Santo Padre elogió el reinado de María como Reina del Cielo sobre los ángeles, los santos y toda la raza humana, pidió la ayuda especial de la Reina del cielo y de la Tierra para aquellos que aún no conocen a su divino Hijo y para los miembros perseguidos de la Iglesia para que nunca cedan bajo una obligación injusta. El Papa Pío XII conocía las poderosas oraciones de Nuestra Señora: “Constituida por el Señor como Reina del Cielo y la Tierra y exaltada sobre todos los coros de los Ángeles y las filas de los Santos en el cielo, de pie a la diestra de su único-Hijo engendrado, Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Ella solicita con el poder de sus oraciones maternas y obtiene lo que busca”.

En Cristo,P. Guadagnoli, Pastor

hijos del Cielo.
