Moses reassures the people that God will one day raise up a prophet like him among them. Saint Paul teaches that some people are called to devote their lives to service to the Lord. In the Gospel, Saint Mark tells us that Jesus taught in the synagogue and expelled unclean spirits. The people were astonished and amazed by the authority of his words.

Reporters and journalists from all over the country will be seeking out all segments of the faithful to interview on a variety of subjects, such as, reaction to the Pope’s visit, what they hope to learn from the event, abortion, traditional marriage, etc. The Archdiocese is in need of those who would be willing to volunteer as spokespersons for our faith in dealing with these topics. In order to address this issue, the Archdiocese will be conducting training sessions in February and March for volunteers on interview techniques and how to respond intelligently to questions, therefore projecting the teachings and viewpoints of the Catholic Church. If you feel you would like to represent Saint Monica’s parish in this endeavor, please give your name to Father Kelley as soon as possible.” WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES HOLY HOUR In connection with the World Meeting of Families, we will have a Holy Hour on the First Monday of every month in St. Monica’s Lower Church. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed all day on that Monday as usual, with the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00 PM, however, the exposition will extend until 6:00, at which time the Holy Hour will begin. It will consist of special prayers, the recitation of the Rosary with the specific World Meeting intentions. A homily and conclude with Benediction. A Holy Hour for the school children will take place every Monday from 9—10 PM. Please mark your calendars and join us in this special liturgy each month. Please….Please….Please…. Please do not tape, staple or pin your collection envelopes. Also, please enter the amount to ensure proper credit. Thank you for your cooperation and may God continue to bless your generosity. Prayer for the World Meeting of Families Please pray this prayer before all parish Masses and before parish meetings and events. This prayer is not prayed during Mass. God and Father of us all, In Jesus, your Son and our Savior, You have made us your sons and daughters in the family of the Church. May your grace and love Help our families In every part of the world Be united to one another In fidelity to the Gospel. May the example of the Holy Family, With the aid of your Holy Spirit, Guide all families, especially those most troubled, To be homes of communion and prayer And to always seek your truth and live in your love. Through Christ our Lord. Amen Jesus, Mary and Joseph, pray for us! Go and Teach All Nations At the time of His Ascension, Jesus gave the command “To Go and Teach All Nations”. It is the duty & responsibility of all Catholics to join in this command. At St. Monica Parish we provide a Christ-centered, academically sound education to well over 520 students from Early Learning to Grade 8. We encourage all to use the blue weekly envelope which helps to support our children. Many adults enjoyed the benefit of a Catholic Education tuition free.
