No, they are not the same things though they both may hold the Eucharist. The Catholic church keeps the consecrated host, called the Eucharist, in a tabernacle in the church. The tabernacle is usually behind the altar, but visible. It has a door that is always locked. Beside this tabernacle is a lighted candle that burns as long as the Eucharist is in the tabernacle. At the next mass, the Host, will be taken out of the tabernacle to be distributed to the faithful at communion.
The monstrance is usually an elaborate, ornate vessel that displays one consecrated host. This display is usually visible for Eucharistic adoration or similar prayer service. After the prayer service, the Host would be put back in the tabernacle.
