St. Monica prayed for her erring son for nine years until he returned to the church.  A priest has assured her that 'no son of these tears' would remain far away.  St. Monica invites us to pray for our erring loved ones.

A novena to St. Monica will begin August 19 after daily Mass, continuing on your own over the weekend, and ending on the Feast of St. Monica on Wednesday, August 27.  Join members of Guild One in this prayer for our loved ones.
