A Message from Father Paul

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

How blessed are we to be able to walk this earthly pilgrimage with one another as members of
The Church of Saint Monica! No matter what may be happening around us, the parish is our safe haven.
It is the place where we can come together, gathered around the Eucharistic table, to worship and serve
our Lord.

It is also the place where we serve one another. Here, united in God’s love, we are a visible sign
of the body of Christ and together we can accomplish amazing things. Nourished by prayer and
the sacraments, members of our parish community are on the path of discipleship and growing in
relationship with Jesus Christ each day. We value formation in the faith and sharing our faith with others
through evangelization. We also know the importance of bringing the love of God to our neighbors
through acts of charity and service. Through our many ministries, and our social and service-oriented
outreach programs, we put into action the truth stated so eloquently by St. John the Apostle: “If God so
loved us, we also must love one another” (1 Jn 4:11).

With this in mind, I invite you to respond to our parish’s new stewardship program: God’s House, Our
Home. Please review the contents of this brochure and prayerfully consider how you and your family can
play an active role in continuing the work of Jesus Christ through our parish community. Our goal is to
increase our Sunday offertory contributions to bring Jesus Christ to as many people as possible. This is
no easy task in today’s climate, but I am confident that our dedicated parishioners are up to the challenge.

On September 16/17, the parish will be holding a special Commitment Weekend, inviting members
of our community to come together and make a financial commitment that will allow Saint Monica to
continue its important work. We are counting on you! By participating in God’s House, Our Home we
respond to God’s great gift of love by loving one another with the heart of His Son.

Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and commitment to Saint Monica!

In Christ,
Father Paul O’Donnell

Three parishioners shared why they love Saint Monica Parish. It was heartwarming to hear them speak about our parish and their experiences here. We encourage you to listen to their short talks HERE and HERE.

Many thanks to Dan McMonigle, Mike O'Donnell, and Jim Fox (who spoke at our 5 pm and whose wonderful talk we were unable to tape).
