Parish Redevelopment

Recognizing the limitations of the current church building, St. Monica's Parish has once again embarked on a redevelopment plan in order to continue serving the needs of the local parish community in this millennium and beyond.  Updates on the redevelopment process are available at www.44broadway.ca.  We welcome your suggestions and comments and ask that you pray with us for God's continued direction and guidance.
