St. Monica is always alive with activity, much of which happens behind the scenes to ensure our parish remains a vibrant place of faith, service, and community. On any given day, our staff, volunteers, and ministries are hard at work, serving the needs of parishioners and the broader community. Here’s a glimpse into just a few of the many ways we bring our mission to life:
Last week at St. Monica, the spirit of service was in full swing. Our Loaves and Fishes Food Drive volunteers were busy sorting and packing donated groceries, ensuring local food banks could provide meals to families facing food insecurity. Meanwhile, the Green Team was planning an educational event focused on sustainable living practices, and our Film Club was finalizing details for their next community screening, promoting social justice through film. At the same time, the planning committee for our annual Thanksgiving Dinner & Clothing Boutique was coordinating hundreds of volunteers to serve meals and distribute warm clothing to those in need. These events don’t come together in just a few days—many require months of preparation and the dedication of volunteers who work diligently behind the scenes to make them a success. Through this ongoing commitment, we continue to serve and uplift our community.
These are just a few examples of what makes St. Monica a dynamic parish. Whether it's our outreach efforts, pastoral care, or spiritual formation programs, none of it would be possible without the support of our parish family.
Your generosity plays a crucial role in making all this happen. If you’d like to support the ongoing work of St. Monica through a recurring gift, one-time donation, or other options like stock or vehicle donations, we invite you to explore how you can make a difference at stmonica.net/give.
