About us
Thank you for finding Monicas’ Hope Ministry, MHM. This NEW (‘23) lay ministry originated at Christ the King RCC in Towson, Maryland. Our apostolate is dedicated to mentoring other parishes, small groups, or individuals (through lay leadership) to plant a garden of HOPE by cultivating a MHM Branch of their own, all while tending to our own local Vineyard. Trusting in the Holy Spirit and ALWAYS looking to Mary for guidance, we are dedicated to the mission of the conversion of souls.
The Vineyard Branch Gathering has been inspired by the Holy Spirit to create and share a unique prayer service that includes original and traditional prayers, music and singing, scripture reflection, small group intercessory prayer, and other acts of reverence.

So, WHY are we doing this?
Monicas HOPE!
Why on EARTH would we do this?
We are busy ladies with lives and families of our own! Separately, we are involved in other ministries, have horses, take care of our grandchildren, attend mass regularly, garden, go on pilgrimages, and more.
We, at MHM, are NOT doing what we are doing for EARTHLY rewards, or for that matter, for Heavenly. We have been called. We are answering the call as best we can. We hear the cries of our loved ones’ souls crying out and longing to bask in God’s Love, the ONLY LOVE that cures the torments of the soul.
Let us help YOU cultivate a branch (parish gathering), a twig (a small group), a leaf (two or three friends), or a bud (an individual or a couple) that best suits YOUR needs.
While we recommend attending a branch gathering in the presence of Our Blessed Lord, we recognize that today’s hectic lifestyles can get in the way which is why we have Monicas’ Menu of choices to tailor certain prayers and offering to your needs. For example, during the week or while traveling take about 7 minutes and pray the Monicas’ Hope Chaplet knowing that there is a healthy growing community with you praying the Chaplet, too.
