Be healed

Reconciliation

Like the Father who runs to the Prodigal Son with open arms, God is always ready to pour out His mercy upon us.

Rest in the freedom that His mercy provides by receiving Christ’s forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Confession is available: Monday, 6:45 PM - 7:45 PM and Saturday, 3:45 PM - 4:45 PM, or by appointment.

Anointing of the Sick

God longs to heal us and bring peace, even when we are suffering. The healing power of God’s grace through the Anointing of the Sick offers spiritual and physical strength in moments of illness, especially during the final days of our earthly journey.

If you or a loved one is sick or dying, don’t hesitate to call 610-644-0110. If we’re out of the office, please use extension number 119 and leave a message for Father Paul and he will be in touch.

As Catholics, we believe that the sacraments are profoundly important in our faith journey. Therefore, we must prepare for them.

If you or a loved one are interested in receiving the sacraments for the first time, this is where to begin.

Sacramental Preparation

For adults

Whether you are already baptized and looking to become Catholic, or not yet baptized and just beginning your spiritual journey, we are excited to accompany you.

Come experience the freedom of a deepened relationship with your Creator.

For youth

Jesus taught his disciples to “let the little children come to me.” Prepare your child for a grace-filled life through the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, the Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation.

Marriage

Get married at Saint Monica! We love weddings, and not just because Jesus’ first miracle was at the wedding feast of Cana. Let us not only be a part of your special day, but also of your journey as a couple. If you’ve been married for a while and want to renew your vows, we’d love to help with that too.

Here’s how: Contact the Parish Office at 610-644-0110 and we will help you find a time to meet with Father Paul as a couple.

Funerals

Christ’s promise of eternal life brings us hope, even in moments of grief and loss. Let us share your burdens as you mourn and pray for your deceased loved ones.

Please contact your Funeral Director who will then be in touch with us. Afterward, we will meet with your family to discuss arrangements.

Vocations

If you are interested in learning more about the priesthood or religious life, Father Paul will be happy to speak with you.
