Do you have a family member that has fallen away from the faith? This loss of them from the faith leave an ache in our heart. When we feel this ache, the one intimately known to Saint Monica for years, we begin to learn how to love as God loves. Consider joining us as we walk through the book Saint Monica Club: How to Wait, Hope, and Pray for Your Fallen-Away Loved Ones. We will read the book and enter into prayer not only for our loved ones but for each other to dive deeper into our own relationship with Our Lord.
What is our purpose: We are a healing ministry that lifts those grieving the loss of their fallen away Catholic loved ones from communion and union with the Lord at the holy sacrifice of the Mass.
Our Tasks: We have daily independent prayer, weekly organized prayer with devotional study, semi-annual Mass and social breakfast, and and annual Novena prayer to St. Monica/St. Augustine with a mass offered for the IHM group.
