St. Monica’s Activity Bags:

Two dozen Children’s Activity Bags are available for visitors and children of the parish to use to participate on an age-appropriate level in our Sunday worship. If you have children, you can find these bags, separated into early and later grade levels, in the narthex (Forest Hill Ave foyer). Together with the Family Bible Study sheets, these bags are an effort to more fully welcome children into our community.
