St. Monica Ministry
The Saint Monica ministry is a pastoral outreach to adults who have friends or relatives who are not active in the practice of their Catholic faith, and for whom this experience is a source of hurt and deep disappointment.
The Saint Monica Ministry, developed around the life experiences of Saint Monica, suggests that the best response is to use this experience as a means of drawing closer to Christ yourself. In becoming more Christ-like ourselves, we permit our Lord to be reflected more clearly through us to others and thus touch them in the way and time of His choosing.

 Apostleship of the Sea
The mission of the Apostleship of the Sea (AOS) is to reach out to seafarers, fishers, their families and all who work or travel on the high seas. Seafarers are often away from their home parishes, and some seafarers have no parish setting to help them maintain lasting ties with their faith and families. A network of AOS port offices and Catholic chaplains establishes a parish that accommodates a seafarer's unique lifestyle and needs. Around the world, the AOS assists seafarer's to meet their basic needs: a safe work environment, a just contract, a safe haven while in port, spiritual renewal, communication with loved ones back home, a few hours of recreation and a genuine welcome.
