How many people have, like St. Monica, shed tears on the behalf of a loved one who is alienated from the Church? The St. Monica Ministry offers crucial, personal support to help deepened the faith and intensify the prayer of these suffering intercessors.

What do you say to a good parent, grieving over a grown child who has left the Catholic faith of childhood? How many times do pastoral ministries face this heartbreaking situation? Dr. Buchner has prayed over this challenge, has conducted workshops for parents, and now has enriched us all by putting the results of these reflections and experiences in a book, St. Monica Ministry. Thanks, Dr. Jack

It is very common today to minister to parents who are troubled over the fact that their children do not go to Church. I look forward to using this helpful resource in my parish.

The St. Monica Ministry has given our Parish much needed tools. The program, as developed by Dr. Buchner, is Christ centered and helps us to remember that Christ will take care of everything...Our job is to love Him, to pray, and give good example to our fallen away loved ones.
Dr. Buchner freely shares all he has learned in his years of experience of ministering, giving us examples and concrete advice on how to be loving to those who have left the Church.
About 3 months after Dr. Buchner came to present the St. Monica Ministry to our parish, one of our parishioners said "I am still basking in remembering that God loves me.
The St. Monica Ministry truly gives hope to us all that, with God's grace, and us doing our part, everything will turn out OK."
