St Monica Catholic Church and School

This was my first time attending this church and I am impressed. This looks like a well established community of parishioners engaged in worship and love with one another. The temple itself is gorgeously decorated with stained glass everywhere and gives a warm glow inside. But what impressed me more was the exterior gardens that are so inviting for people to come, sit, pray and just meditate. Very peaceful and very beautiful.
Props to the priests on staff as well. Spanish is obviously not their first language and yet there they are in front of everyone, providing spiritual messages in another language, not afraid to correct themselves if they made a mistake or too. The younger priest as well… I like him. He seems like a good guy and I’m impressed to see younger priests taking on leadership roles in the community.
Overall this is a very fine church and one that you should visit for your spritual needs.

This is a beautiful church. Our friends got married here over the weekend and I was impressed at just how extensive the parish grounds were. The architecture of the church was gorgeous, modern, and unique. I was raised in the Catholic church and I found the service here to be welcoming, comforting, and familiar… and this was only my first time here. We happened to visit St. Monica’s on the day that their school festival was happening. I enjoyed catching a glimpse of the kids’ cheerleading squad practicing, the young families, fair food, and other fun.

I like St Monica. I haven’t attended mass here yet, came for a volunteer training class. I love that they are big on building youth community. Children are our future, if we don’t teach them right. Who will they become? The compound is big. Theres a school here that is a part of Dallas diocese.

I was born in St. James Parish and raised in St. Monica Parish. I have been to a lot of different churches and denominations over the years with family and friends but I always come home. St Monica always welcomes people no matter what their belief and value system. They lead by example without proselytizing and people want to stay! They have expanded their ministries over the years to include marriage counseling, grief counseling, sick and shut-​in visits, aid to seniors and singles. Their Youth group is better than what it was when I was a kid and they really try to steer everyone spiritual growth. St. Monica is also coming into the 21^st Century. They recently renovated the church and increased their presence on social media. The pastors and staff realize they have to move with the times and they are taking full advantage to reach all those in need of spiritual guidance and help. Even if you aren’t Catholic, they don’t care! All are welcome!
