We are looking for Adorers to commit to one hour each week or to serve as a substitute. Please browse the available time slots for Tuesdays and Thursdays using the link below.

Little Rock Sunday Scripture Study*A Study of Isaiah. Looking to reconnect? Consider joining us—Little Rock Scripture Study (LRSS) at St. Monica —for a study of the Book of Isaiah, a program from the Little Rock Scripture Study team. LRSS has been a part of St. Monica for many years. Members include young, and “not so young,” single, married—parishioners with different backgrounds and various life experiences. We meet and discuss weekly reading assignments—sharing our encounters with Scripture, our experience in trying to live our faith in the world, and our moments of insight when something in our life resonates with what we have read. It is a great way to join the community—we have formed many close friendships with members over the years. No prior Bible study experience is needed. We meet on Sundays after the 9:00 AM Mass in the Family Center Lower Lounge (Room 109), from 10:05 AM – 12:00 noon. We will begin Isaiah on Sunday, November 24. The cost of the study set is about $18. For more information or to register, please call Dan and Sally Cook at 214-794-6575 or email Sally Cook.
Latecomers are also welcome!

Vocation Ministry
St. Monica has established a parish Vocation Ministry to help foster vocations to the priesthood, religious life, permanent diaconate, consecrated single life, and sacramental marriage. We are all invited to participate in praying for vocations, especially from within St. Monica parish. Part of our vocation is to come to know, love, and serve Our Lord Jesus Christ so that we will be happy with Him in Eternal Life. Every person has a vocation or a call. This is part of God’s plan. Please continue to pray for vocations. For more information, contact June Cooper at [email protected].
