St. Monica Ministry Holy Hours of Petition and Hope

St. Monica Ministry Holy Hours take place at St. Theresa Church, 1408 Easton Road, Hellertown at 6:00pm on the second Tuesday of each month.

We come together before the Blessed Sacrament to ask Our Lord's mercy and to invoke the powerful intercession of St. Monica for our fallen-away loved ones.  For more information on our Holy Hours, please email StMonicaMinistry27@gmail.com
