The feast of St. Monica, the devoted mother of St. Augustine and a powerful witness of faith, perseverance and prayer, was observed with great devotion and enthusiasm on August 30, 2026, across several parishes of the diocese.
The celebrations were held in Amloh, Ajrawar, Phattak Majri, Rajpura, Patiala & Mallo Majra, Bassi Pathana, Mandi- Gobindgarh, Jhakhal and Devigarh, bringing together the faithful, especially mothers and families, to honour St. Monica and draw inspiration from her life of unwavering prayer and trust in God.
The faithful participated devoutly in the Holy Eucharist and special prayers, seeking the intercession of St. Monica for their families, children and loved ones. Her life reminded the community that sincere prayer, patience and steadfast faith can become powerful instruments of God's grace, even in times of difficulty and uncertainty.
Special emphasis was given to the role of mothers and families in nurturing faith and Christian values. The celebrations encouraged parents to remain prayerful and patient in accompanying their children and to entrust their families continually to God's loving care.
The observance of St. Monica Diwas across these parishes became a beautiful expression of faith, family, prayer and community, strengthening the faithful in their commitment to build Christ-centred families and to become missionary disciples in their homes and communities.
The day concluded with gratitude to God and prayers through the intercession of St. Monica, asking for the grace to remain faithful in prayer and courageous in witnessing to the Gospel.
St. Monica, pray for our families and for all mothers.
