  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 27th of August WELCOME! SAINT MONICA, MOTHER OF SAINT AUGUSTINE ⬅️ The Translation of Saint Monica ➡️ Intercessions Through Saint Monica Born in 332, in North Africa, of a Christian family, married to a pagan, Patricius, whom she brought to the faith, Monica is best known as the mother of St Augustine of Hippo . She had four children altogether. She prayed and wept for Augustine, and his conversion filled her with joy. He has left an account of her death: detached from the world by a life of prayer and sense of God, she gladly left it. She died in 387.
