Memorial Vigil of Saint Monica

Posted on by Judy Rynkewicz

Save the Date! On Wednesday, August 26, St. David’s will begin our new-evangelization efforts to pray for children, grandchildren and family members who have fallen away from the faith. We would like to extend an invitation to anyone who may find themselves in this difficult situation to join us for this special Vigil Mass. Names of loved ones will not be announced, but you may put their names on envelopes to be placed in the basket on the altar if you wish.

The vigil marks the beginning of this ongoing parish initiative. Prior to the opening hymn at each weekend Mass, the congregation will be invited to pray together for those who are lost or have wandered from the faith. Hymnal stickers of this prayer will be placed in each hymnal so that parishioners can easily participate.
