On Wed., Feb. 22 at 5:30 p.m., The Parish of Saint Monica will host a special Mass to gather together area business organizations to pray for the success of the Atlantic City community. The Mass, open to the public, will be celebrated at St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church located at Tennessee & Pacific Avenues. The parish continues to be committed to working with local organizations to better serve the needs of the Atlantic City area community.
Pastor and main celebrant of the Mass, Father Jon Thomas, explains the purpose of the spiritual gathering, “Many Atlantic City businesses are persevering in a challenging environment. At this Mass, we will ask God to bless the work of their hands so that the whole community will be raised up.”
Atlantic City Councilman, Jesse O. Kurtz adds, “As Catholic business people we need both hard work and God’s grace to be successful. The Mass for business leaders will remind us to both do well and do good in our endeavors of commerce.”
Local business owner, Cathy Burke, of The Irish Pub, touts the value in businesses working and praying together. “Many of those attending this Mass represent the cornerstone of our business community. It is only fitting that we come together to overcome the challenges we face. This Mass represents our faith and hope for our community.”
