St Monica is the patron saint of married women, mothers, and widows. The mother of St Augustine of Hippo, St Monica is a prominent figure in Christianity and is known for her unwavering faith and persistent prayers for her family.
The statue of St Monica will be placed on the sanctuary, with a prayer box before her. Everyone is invited to write the names of family and friends and place them in the box asking for St. Monica’s prayers.
