Information
Saint Monica was born to a Christian family in Tagaste, N. Africa, in 332 AD. Saint Monica's marriage to her pagan husband, an official of Tagaste, was not a happy one. Monica, however, did not leave her husband. She persisted in being a faithful, loving wife and was the model of a devout Christian. Her example and prayer over a thirty year period finally paid off, as her husband converted to the faith. Then, by her tears and unceasing prayers, she won the conversion of her lazy, wayward son, later Pope Benedict speaks of St Monica
