This Friday, May 4th, a Solemn High Mass for the feast of St Monica will be celebrated at Holy Name, in Brooklyn, New York, starting at 7pm. The church is located at 245 Prospect Park West. St Monica, 322-87, is the patron Saint of difficult marriages, victims of unfaithfulness or of verbal abuse, conversions, and is especially invoked for the sake of those who have lapsed from the Faith, like her son, St Augustine; his famous autobiographical work, the Confessions is a still widely read telling of his conversion from a sinful life.
