Saint Monica Mother of Saint Augustine
August 27 (331?-387)
Born in Tagaste (now known as Souk Ahras in Algeria) in either 331 or 332, Monica was raised in a Christian family. She married Patricius, a pagan who served on the City Council of Tagaste. Augustine was the couple's eldest son. In the Confession, Augustine says that she married young, and was a good and patient wife who was generous to her husband. He further notes that Monica had a cordial relationship with her mother-in-law, and was a peacemaker. Monica was a good mother, but Augustine, as a young man, did not follow her example of Christian faith. Monica prayed continually for her son, as well as for her husband. Both Patricius and Augustine did eventually become followers of Christ. Augustine credited Monica with planting the seeds of faith in his heart. He called his conversion a return to the faith which had been instilled in him as a child. When Augustine and his friends would get together for philosophical discussions, Augustine would invite his mother to join them. Her wise comments helped nurture the faith that had begun to grow in Augustine's heart. The conversion of Augustine, whose earlier ways had caused many tears, brought particular joy to Monica. She
was present at his baptism. On her way back to Africa with Augustine, she died at Ostia, near Rome, probably some time in October, 387. Her remains are at the Church of Saint Augustine, Rome.
PATIENCE Patience is the companion of wisdom.
—St. Augustine

Saint Augustine of Hippo August 28
A Bishop in Hippo (near modern-day Annaba, Algeria), Augustine was an influential leader in the African Church. As Christians were growing in their knowledge of God and Christ, Augustine helped to shape Christian theological teachings, particularly those about the role of Divine Grace and the nature of the Holy Trinity. In the process, he combatted many theological errors. The son of Monica, a holy Christian, and Patricius, a pagan, Augustine was born in 354 in Tagaste (now known as Souk Ahras, Algeria). He was educated in the best secular schools of his day. As a young man, he led a distinctly non-Christian and immoral life. He lived with a young woman without the benefit of marriage. Together they had a son, Adeodatus. The young Augustine was continually searching with a restless heart for meaning in life. Each time that he would be attracted to a particular philosophy or group, he would become disillusioned the more familiar he became with its thought. Finally, he found Jesus Christ, and at last was satisfied. “You have made us for yourself, Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you,” Augustine would later reflect on his earlier searching. --Confessions, Chapter 1 (see also the Conversion of St. Augustine) Although he is rightly famous for his roles in settling the theological controversies of his time, Augustine’s priorities were the pastoral care of the people of his Church and spiritual growth. He developed a deep spirituality in which love is central. He was particularly concerned with the needs of the poor, and saw to it that the Church welcomed and helped them. Augustine died August 28, 430, just as the Roman Empire in Africa was dying, too, during the Vandal invasions.
Catechists
You may pick up your catechist manuals next weekend during the same hours listed above. Class lists will be emailed to you as we approach our first virtual class on September 16th.
Registration for R.E. Class
Our R.E. classes will be held in your domestic church this year. Students will be assigned to a classroom and a catechist will be emailing lessons home to parents. It’s not too late to register your child(ren) for R.E. class this school year. Please call the Faith Formation Office if you need a registration form, and also feel free to reach out to me if you have questions or concerns. ~Janet
Prayer to St. Monica
Great St. Monica, patroness of all fathers and mothers, please take our children, especially those who have turned from the ways of God and His Church, under thy protection. Let them always remain faithful to their baptismal vows. Give them the strength to walk always in the ways of the Lord, despite the temptations and false values they find in the world today. Grant that they may share with thee the joys of eternal life. ~Amen.
