The scriptures will come alive as travelers follow in the footsteps of Jesus and the Prophets down “Palm Sunday Road” and travel by boat on the Sea of Galilee. Destinations include Bethlehem, Cana, Capernaum, Jerusalem, Galilee, Nazareth, Bethany and Jericho. Fr. Todd Goodson is the spiritual director for the trip and will celebrate Mass each day with pilgrimage participants at beloved sites throughout the Holy Land. To download a flyer about the trip, click here.

St. Monica has a very vibrant and active Knights of Columbus group who do many wonderful acts of kindness for the parish and the community.  Often these acts go unnoticed as they do not always toot their horn.   They will have their bi-annual membership drive the weekend of May 5th and 6th. There will be a display with information in the Narthex that weekend. If you have any questions you can contact Grand Knight, Todd Kowinski at 357-9905, indypacker@gmail.com or Bill Warren membership director, at 879-1319, w.e.warren@sbcglobal.net
