August 27 is the Feast of St Monica, the mother of St Augustine, whose prayers did so much to bring about his conversion. The Diocese of Wilmington in Delaware has an annual St Monica Teardrop Devotional Mass, at which to pray for those who have fallen away from the faith. It is at St Joseph on the Brandywine, Greenville at 6pm.
