Ministries at St. Monica
Perpetual Adoration
Being in front of the Holy Sacred Eucharist and sitting with Jesus brings graces to your life. It enriches your prayer life and strengthens your spiritual life. God is so pleased with adoration that every hour spent there releases more souls to heaven. Contact Cece Dan or the Church Office at 359-2700.
Sacred Music/Choir
The Ministry of Sacred Music at St. Monica’s strives to provide beautiful music that is uplifting to the liturgy. The ministry consists of the 10:00am Choir along with trained volunteer cantors who sing at the 5:00pm Saturday Vigil Mass. The Choir rehearses on Thursdays at 7:00-8:30pm with once-a-month fellowship after rehearsal, getting together over light food and drinks and good company! Learn more.

Dominicans
If you are a Catholic layperson who is drawn to a religious vocation while still remaining as a layperson, you may have a vocation to a “Third Order.” For more information contact Mary McClernon at 313-6611.
ADULT SCRIPTURE STUDY
A friendly group of travelers walking together through the scriptures. We as a group have decided on comprehensive studies of the entire Bible to subject matter studies like Wisdom. We pray together, keep everyone apprised of what is happening in our lives, drink lots of coffee and every now and then have donuts. We love the Church, we love Scripture and we love each other and we’d be very happy for anyone looking for a group of fellow travelers to join us. Learn more.
diVORCED AND SEPARATED
Have you suffered a divorce or separation and fear condemnation, isolation, or disenfranchisement? The Catholic Church is not here to condemn, but to facilitate healing that only God can offer. Join others in a small group setting during which time participants will explore surviving divorce or separation in the Catholic Church. Learn about Church teachings on divorce, the annulment process, and tools that can help you manage difficult feelings and situations related to divorce or separation.
The Catholic Church inspires movement toward God even when things in your life seem difficult. Divorce does not have to define you. Instead, you can use your experience as an opportunity to move forward living in submission to God's will through fellowship with Him.
Surviving Divorce is for the newly separated and divorced and those still struggling with issues many years later. It will help them answer their questions, restore hope, and begin authentic healing. Learn more.

Sacred Wash
Our purpose is to do the sacred wash weekly. Our volunteers will do the wash about once every 6 weeks. This is a very important ministry as it helps in the preparation for our Mass celebration.

Phone: 405-919-3154
Homebound Ministry
Homebound ministers serve those unable to come to Mass by bringing the "Body of Christ" to them. This sharing of our greatest gift brings joy and peace both to those who give as well as to those who receive. Often this personal visit is at a time of great need and so it is a very rewarding ministry.
If you or someone you know is ill, in the hospital, homebound or not able to get to Mass because of circumstances beyond their control, call the church office at 359-2700 so a Homebound Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion may bring them Communion.
