Adoration at Saint Monica Church
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Adoration is a sign of devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ, who is present in body, blood, soul, and divinity, under the appearance of the consecrated host. Eucharistic meditation performed in the presence of the Sacred Host outside Mass has been practiced and recommended by some of our greatest saints. A visit to the Blessed Sacrament is a great treasure of the Catholic faith. It spiritually nourishes us and gives us opportunities for thanksgiving, reparation and supplication. Friday adorations will end at 10:00AM with Reposition of our Sacramental Lord. All are welcome and encouraged to come to our dear Lord during our Friday Adorations for a grace-filled occasion and experience.

Mass Offering
Offering Mass
1.) Offering Mass for a deceased loved one.
When we offer Mass for our deceased loved one, we are asking God to apply the graces of the Mass to that person’s soul, so that their time of purification can be brought quickly to completion and they can enter into the fullness of heaven. Just as we pray for each other and share each other's burdens now, the faithful on earth can offer prayers and sacrifices to help the departed souls undergoing purification. To have a Mass offered for the repose of the soul of a person who is not Catholic is more beneficial and comforting than any other sympathy card or bouquet of flowers. No better prayer could be offered than that of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. This is a truly loving and faith-filled thing to do; a beautiful expression of the communion of all believers in Christ – a communion that transcends time and space.
2.) A Mass can be offered for a person who is still living.
Though we often think of having a Mass said for those who have passed away, Masses can be offered for those who are still alive. The Mass may be said: "for the living and the dead, and other necessities." In other words, if you know someone who could benefit from the spiritual graces that come with having a Mass said on their behalf, there is no need to delay in doing so.
3.) You can have a Mass said in Thanksgiving or for a celebration.
Most people remember to have a Mass said for the death of a loved one and a few may think to have a Mass offered for a special intention or friend who is suffering, but rarely do we think of having a Mass offered for a celebration. Is there a better way to show our gratitude to God? Masses can be said for birthdays, anniversaries, in celebration of the reception of the sacraments, or for prayers that have been answered!
4.) Please consider having Masses said at Saint Monica Church.
It is easy to do so. To request a Mass, you may mail your request to the parish office or drop it in the mail slot at the rectory. You may also drop your request in the weekend offertory collection basket marked “Mass Intention.” Please include: 1) who the Mass is for, 2) who it is by, 3) along with your $10.00 stipend per Mass. You may request a date; if the date is taken, we will schedule your Mass to the nearest date open.
Don't miss out on these graces for yourself and those you love! Find a reason to have a Mass offered today.

Spiritual Communion
Prayer of Spiritual Communion – My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
