Mission Statement
We, the people of St. Monica Catholic Church, are called through Baptism to celebrate the presence of Jesus Christ in Word and Sacrament. In becoming what we receive, we are sent in peace to glorify
the Lord by sharing our gifts in service to others and by inviting all into a deeper relationship with Christ. Inspired by our patroness, St. Monica, we pray that all may become children of heaven.

Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe November 24, 2019
From the Pastor
Dcn. Abel CortesDcn. Larry Lucido
Dcn. Bob Marrinan Dcn. Brian MitchellDcn. Peter Raad
My Dear Parishioners,
This Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord, Jesus Christ the King! Christ Jesus, Victor, Christ Jesus, Ruler, Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer! It is fitting that this celebration comes at the end of the Liturgical Year. At the end of time, our King Jesus Christ will come to judge the living and the dead. In hope, we pray that Christ our King will call us to share in that everlasting life of heaven. If we want to share in that heavenly kingdom, we are called to practice “sharing” our blessings here in this earthly realm. In our sharing, let us always keep Christ the King in mind as the one whom we serve in the least of our brothers and sisters.
The Eucharist is “an act of thanksgiving to God.” (CCC 1328). We are dependent on God for everything that we are, for our very lives. And God has blessed us with one another. Thanksgiving is a good time to give thanks to God for all the blessings which have been bestowed on us throughout this past year. When we share our blessings with one another, we help and encourage each other in the building up of the Kingdom of God. On behalf of Fr. Wade Bass, Fr. Paul Weinberger, our deacons and our entire staff, we extend to you and your family our prayers during this Thanksgiving week. We pray for all families, travelers, and for all of those who will be away from their loved ones during this Thanksgiving time. Please remember to thank God by participating at Holy Mass with your family on this national day of Thanksgiving!
The Season of Advent begins next Saturday evening. (Nov. 30-Dec. 1). During Advent, I encourage each family to gather together in prayer and invite Christ our King to dwell within each family and within our parish.
In Christ,Fr. Guadagnoli

Solemnidad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo 24 de noviembre 2019
Del PastorMis queridos feligreses,
Este domingo celebramos la solemnidad de Nuestro Senor, Jesucristo Rey.
Es apropiado que esta celebración sea al final del ano litúrgico. Al final de los
tiempos, nuestro Rey Jesucristo vendrá a juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos.
Con esperanza, oramos para que Cristo nuestro Rey nos llame a participar en
la vida eterna en el cielo. Si queremos participar en el Reino Celestial, estamos
llamados a practicar “compartiendo” nuestras bendiciones aquí en este reino
terrenal. Al compartir, tengamos siempre en mente a Cristo Rey, a quien
servimos en nuestros hermanos y hermanas.
La Eucaristía es “un acto de acción de gracias a Dios”. (CCC 1328). Dependemos
de Dios para todo lo que somos, en nuestras vidas. Dios nos ha bendecido
a unos con otros. El Día de Acción de Gracias es un buen momento para dar
gracias a Dios por todas las bendiciones que nos han sido otorgadas durante
este ano. Cuando compartimos nuestras bendiciones unos con otros, nos
ayudamos y alentamos mutuamente en la construcción del Reino de Dios. En
nombre del Padre Wade Bass, Padre Paul Weinberger, nuestros diáconos y todo
nuestro personal, les extendemos a usted y a su familia nuestras oraciones
durante esta semana de Acción de Gracias. Oramos por todas las familias, los
viajeros y por todos aquellos que estarán lejos de sus seres queridos durante
este tiempo de Acción de Gracias. ¡Recuerde agradecer a Dios participando en la
Santa Misa con su familia en este día nacional de Acción de Gracias!
El tiempo de Adviento comienza el próximo sábado por la noche. (30 de
noviembre al 1 de diciembre). Durante el Adviento, animo a cada familia a
reunirse en oración e invito a Cristo Rey a vivir en cada familia y en nuestra
parroquia.
P. Guadagnoli
