Rev. Fr. Eduard Perrone, pastor of Assumption Grotto Church, will celebrate the Extraordinary Form of the Mass,
known as the Tridentine Mass of 1962, the same Mass Rev. Fr. Ben Kosnac, pastor of St. Cyril, celebrates each Saturday at 6 P.M.
Prior to August 27, the feast of St. Monica was May 4, the date her remains were transferred to Rome to the Basilica of St. Augustine. Here an altar was built over her tomb in her chapel. And here is where our petitions come to rest. All the names written on the petition slips and placed in the St. Monica Petition Box near the St. Michael Statue by the church entrance, and those at Assumption Grotto, are sent yearly to St. Monica's chapel and placed on the altar when Masses are offered. Some remain at the foot of the altar, and some have even been placed on the pillow next to her below the altar.
Since every Mass is all inclusive, you are all invited. Come learn about St. Monica and her son, St. Augustine, and her sodality.
Experience her intercession in a new light, in May the month of Mary and all mothers.
