Magnificat Prayer Meal for Women
Are you a Catholic woman who would like to grow in holiness through opening more fully to the power and the gifts of the Holy Spirit? Magnificat invites you to enjoy fellowship and a time of praise and to hear one person’s testimony of the transforming love of Christ in her life.
Our guest speaker will be Monica Donohue, who had a profound conversion experience at age 31 and is a parishioner at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Decatur, Georgia.
Monica was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the 1950s, the third of four children. She grew up with devout parents and a large extended Catholic family in a Catholic neighborhood. Her parents loved the Lord and Our Lady and modeled the practice of the faith for their children.
She attended Catholic School from 1st grade through high school except for grades 6 and 7. After graduating from a very small all-girls’ high school with 69 students in her senior class, she attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison, which had 35,000 students. The challenge of this change pulled her into a very secular environment where she temporarily left behind her Catholic values.
With a failed marriage by the age of 23, the relocation of her parents from Wisconsin to South Carolina, and the death of her mother, her early twenties were tumultuous. Monica graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing and later received a Master’s in Nursing from the University of South Carolina. This allowed her to discover her two professional passions, teaching and caring for the poor and vulnerable in a community setting.
At the end of her twenties, she was blessed to meet and marry the love of her life, Jeffrey Donohue. They had three children together, Erin, Shannon, and Patrick, and were married for thirty-two years.
At the age of 31, Monica experienced a profound conversion which changed her life. She was infused with the Holy Spirit and was gifted with an intimate relationship with Jesus. As He made straight her paths, she began to follow him ever more closely. Through marriage, parenting, her nursing profession, a lifetime commitment as a Lay Cistercian of the Monastery of the Holy Spirit, along with various ministries within Magnificat, and more recently with the Encounter School of Ministry, God has taken her by the hand to teach her to know Him, to love Him, to serve Him, and to trust Him with all her heart.
