When Hearts Wander, We Pray Them Home
The St. Monica Ministry is a prayerful community offering hope and support to anyone carrying the heartbreak of loved ones who have drifted from the Catholic faith. Inspired by St. Monica’s steadfast perseverance, we gather monthly to pray together for sons, daughters, family members, friends, and neighbors who are in need of God’s grace and a return to the Church.
During each Holy Hour, we provide St. Monica prayer cards, helpful resources, books to borrow, and printed guides for the rosary so all can follow along with ease.

O St. Monica, mother of the great Augustine, you besought heaven for your son's conversion while pursuing him across the ocean. Through your intercession, may we hold fast to our children, drawing them untiringly towards the embrace of the Father. Implore God's mercy on our prodigal sons and daughters who have gone astray, that they may come to know, accept, and cherish the unconditional love of their Heavenly Father.
O St. Monica, virtuous and steadfast wife, many years of affliction did not cause you to despair. Instead, strengthened by adversity and tempered by your tears, you prayed unceasingly for the conversion of your husband, Patricius. In His mercy, God heard the cry of your heart and gave Patricius the gift of Christian faith. Obtain for me, good St. Monica, a measure of your virtues, that my fallen-away loved ones should come to know Christ through my example. Intercede for those of my family and friends who are walking in darkness, that they should return to the ineffable light of our holy Faith.
Beloved St. Monica, grant me the grace to accept the Divine Will in all things, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
