We showed this video at the first meeting of Serra Boston, and are very excited touse the Internet to spread the word about Serra International.
Special thanks to Serra USA for allowing us to post the video, and for posting this clip on the home page of www.serraus.org.
Pray for Our Priests magnets now available
March 18th, 2008
We have created a number of “Pray for Our Priests” magnets with the Serra Boston web address for all those who wish to show support for priests.
These distinctive black ribbons (with the white collar) can be stuck on a car or refrigerator, and offer an easy way to publicly show support for Catholic priests and encourage others to pray. Each magnet measures 8″ x 3.5″ - click on the image on the left to view a larger version.
Each “Pray for Our Priests” magnet costs $3 ($3.50 if ordered via mail). To purchase one, you can either attend our monthly meeting in person, or mail $3.50 to:
