Welcome Message:

Christ is risen, alleluia! He is truly risen, alleluia! May the grace and joy of the Risen Christ be with you all! We

welcome all of you to St. Monica parish: all families, all visitors, and those from all around our community. We

invite you to consider our parish as a great place for you and your family to join us in sharing our faith year

round. Thank you for being with us today! -Priests of St. Monica Parish, Dallas, Texas.

Dear Parishioners,

Christus Resurrexit! May the grace and joy of the Risen Christ be with you all! On this Day of Resurrection, I

would like to dedicate this space to all of our special guests who have come to celebrate the paschal mystery

with the people of God here at St. Monica parish. We welcome all families, all visitors from near and far, and

those from all around our community. We welcome you all! We also welcome our neophytes who are our

newly baptized, as well as those who have been fully initiated into the Body of Christ this Easter Vigil through

our Christian Initiation programs. I am proud of them in faith and ask your prayers for them as they enter into

this new Easter-time of mystagogy. Mystagogy is that time of study and discovery immediately after becoming

a new Catholic. It is an important time to reflect on the mystery of our faith and our experience of that

mystery. Please continue to pray for our newly initiated Catholics. On behalf of our deacons and our pastoral

year seminarian Deacon Tymo, I ask the prayers of Our Blessed Mother and our patroness St. Monica for all of

you to share the joy of Easter with your families and loved ones. In Christ’s Love,

Fr. Guadagnoli, Pastor

Del PastorMensaje de bienvenida:

Cristo ha resucitado, aleluya! ¡Él está verdaderamente resucitado, aleluya! ¡Que la gracia y la alegría de

Cristo Resucitado estén con todos ustedes! Les damos la bienvenida a todos ustedes a la parroquia de

Santa Mónica: todas las familias, todos los visitantes y aquellos de toda nuestra comunidad. Lo invitamos

a considerar nuestra parroquia como un gran lugar para que usted y su familia se unan a nosotros para

compartir nuestra fe durante todo el año. ¡Gracias por estar con nosotros hoy!

--Padres de la Parroquia de Santa Mónica, Dallas, Texas.

Mis queridos feligreses,

Christus Resurrexit! ¡Que la gracia y la alegría de Cristo Resucitado estén con todos ustedes! En este

Día de la Resurrección, me gustaría dedicar este espacio a todos nuestros invitados especiales que han

venido a celebrar el misterio pascual con el pueblo de Dios aquí en la parroquia de Santa Mónica. Damos

la bienvenida a todas las familias, a todos los visitantes de cerca y de lejos, y a aquellos de toda nuestra

comunidad. ¡Les damos la bienvenida a todos! También damos la bienvenida a nuestros neófitos que son

nuestros recién bautizados, así como a aquellos que han sido completamente iniciados en el Cuerpo de

Cristo esta Vigilia de Pascua a través de nuestros programas de Iniciación Cristiana. Estoy orgulloso de

ellos en la fe y les pido sus oraciones mientras entran en este nuevo tiempo de mistagógica en Pascua.

Mystagogy es ese tiempo de estudio y descubrimiento inmediatamente después de convertirse en un

nuevo católico. Es un momento importante para reflexionar sobre el misterio de nuestra fe y nuestra

experiencia de ese misterio. Por favor continúen orando por nuestros recién iniciados católicos. En nombre

de nuestros diáconos y de nuestro seminarista pastoral Diacono Tymo, pido las oraciones de Nuestra

Santísima Madre y nuestra patrona Santa Mónica para que todos puedan compartir la alegría de la Pascua

con sus familias y seres queridos.En el amor de Cristo

P. Guadagnoli,
