Inaugural Meeting a success

January 23rd, 2008

The inaugural meeting of the Serra Club of Boston saw a wonderful gathering of individuals from 20 different cities in the archdiocese – all very devoted to praying for and supporting the priesthood !!

We were blessed to have Serra representatives from the national, regional and local levels; already we have experienced firsthand the fraternal “Spirit of Serra” by their generosity in sharing their time, support and materials with their new brothers and sisters. Fr. Dan Hennessey celebrated a beautiful Mass for Vocations – it was a real joy to all present to be able to worship God together and beg Him “to send more laborers into the harvest.” (Mt. 9:38)

All agreed there is much work to be done in the archdiocese in order to build a Culture of Vocations and that Serra Boston can be an immense help in this regard. Everyone who attended the meeting is invited to bring a friend (or two) to the next meeting on February 16th (same time, same place).

Introductory Meeting on Saturday, January 19, 2008

January 2nd, 2008

Be part of establishing a brand new Serra Club for the Archdiocese of Boston!

Named for Blessed Junipero Serra, Serra International exists to support, celebrate and encourage vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and religious life. Founded in 1935, there are now over 1,088 Serra clubs in 44 countries with a total membership of more than 20,000 individuals, but none in Boston – until now!!!

Serrans are committed, in a special way, to fostering vocations through prayer and a constant effort to spread an authentic “culture of vocations.” Pope John Paul II encouraged Serrans to dedicate themselves to this task in order to “ensure that the problem of vocations does not remain a concern for pastors alone, but is brought to the attention of all…”

(Pope John Paul II, Rome, Dec. 2000)
