Our Mission Statement

St. Monica Parish, originally established to meet the needs of a people recovering from war, has ministered since then to our changing community.

We who choose St. Monica's Roman Catholic Parish, are challenged by Scripture and inspired by the Holy Spirit-

to come together to celebrate in word and sacrament our faith in Jesus Christ;

to recognize the dignity of each person;

to appreciate the gifts each individual brings to our community;

to celebrate the diversity that various small communities bring to our parish family;

to work for justice and peace in our church and in society;

to have a particular compassion for young, elderly, poor and disadvantaged people, while affirming the equality of all.

In these ways we strive to live the words of Scripture:

"This is what God asks of you, only -to act justly,to love tenderly,and to walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6:8)
