About the Church
https://stmonica.net/sacraments/marriage

St. Monica Catholic Church, originally named Saint Monica Parish, was established in 1886 when Santa Monica was still an unincorporated part of LA County and of Ballona Township. Both the city and the church were named for Saint Monica who is remembered for her outstanding Christian virtues, particularly the suffering against the adultery of her husband and a prayerful life dedicated to the reformation of her son, Saint Augustine. The parish was originally located on what is now the Third Street Promenade between Santa Monica Boulevard and Arizona Ave. At the time it was the only parish between Oxnard and Wilmington and downtown Los Angeles and the ocean. Fr. Patrick Hawe served as the first resident pastor until 1923. During his tenure, the church flourished. Fr. Hawe had planned to build a new and larger church but died on August 30, 1923 before that goal could be realized.
