Service
We believe we’re called to live out the gospel message through serving our community both near and far.
All Abilities Foundation
The Foundation works in partnership with the parish to embrace, welcome, and celebrate the All Abilities community without judgment and with the vision of one hundred percent acceptance. Their mission is to create an environment of acceptance, community, and fellowship strongly based on love, compassion, and hope for the community at large – not just individuals and families with special needs —and regardless of race, religion, or creed.

Music Ministry
Music Ministry at Saint Monica offers opportunities for all to get involved, whether through the Children's Choir, Adult Choir, or cantoring at Mass. Music plays a vital role in enhancing our prayer life, and we invite you to join us for musical events such as our Praise and Worship Holy Hour and Sacred Music Concert Series. Join us in lifting our voices in faith and enriching the worship experience for our parish community!

Bereavement Ministry
Saint Monica's Bereavement Ministry provides grieving families with an encounter with the Risen Christ through the funeral liturgy, which gives hope of the Resurrection. Members extend support at liturgical planning meetings with families and offer parish hospitality at viewings and funerals celebrated at Saint Monica. They also coordinate the parish's annual Mass of Remembrance and reception held in November, the month of All Souls.

Nocturnal Adoration
The Nocturnal Adoration Society is an association of Catholics dedicated to prayer before the Eucharist for the praise of God and the needs of the world. Saint Monica’s Chapter is the oldest and only NAS in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Membership requires one thing only: to spend one hour once a month during the hours of the night in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament in church. Nocturnal Adoration is on First Friday starting at 9:00 pm in church.

Respect Life
The mission of the Respect Life Ministry of Saint Monica is to support the miracle of life through all its stages. With compassion and mercy, we engage in prayer, peaceful witness, education, and outreach to families in need. Saint Monica parishioners are invited to participate in any of our activities at any time and attend our meetings.
