                                    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.
