A Message from Sr. Mary Sean and the PREP Art Show.

Tony, Chris, Jerry, Mike, John, and I thank you for our PREP ART SHOW this weekend.  It was wonderful to be back and reconnect with so many.  St. Monica’s is a vibrant GOSPEL parish.  Thank you for all you did for us at PREP and for being STILL St. Monica.

We keep you in thanks, love, and prayer.

Sr. Mary Sean
