Congratulations to Boston Ordinandi 2008

May 28th, 2008

Last Saturday, May 24, seven men were ordained to the priesthood. We congratulate the ordinandi on their choice to follow their calling to the priesthood! Several Serra Boston members attended the ordination at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston.

As a sign of Serra’s commitment to affirm priestly vocations, each of the newly ordained priests for the archdiocese of Boston will receive a clerical shirt and collar from Serra Boston, along with assurance of prayer from club members.

Serra Boston is also planning to introduce an “Adopt-a-Priest” Apostolate, whereby every diocesan priest would be spiritually adopted by a layperson of the archdiocese.

Congratulations again to all our new priests!

You can read Cardinal Sean’s account of the ordination on Cardinal Sean’s blog.

“Vocations” episode of CatholicTV

May 10th, 2008

Brian and Loretta Gallagher of Serra Boston appeared on the May 6 episode of “This is the Day” on CatholicTV.

The May 6 episode was devoted to “Vocations,” and Brian and Loretta discussed the ways in which Serra Boston promotes vocations in the Archdiocese of Boston. They also bought “Pray for our Priests” car magnets for hosts Jay Fadden and Fr. Robert Reed.

If you missed this episode of “This is the Day,” you can see it on the CatholicTV web site.

  1. Click here to view the video.
  2. Let the video load a little – notice that the bar at the bottom gets darker as more of the video loads.
  3. Drag the white arrow below the long bar from left to right (about 1/2 of the way along the bar, after the cooking segment) to see the segment on Serra Boston.

Let us pray that this episode helps spread the word about Serra Boston, and provide more information on the ways people can support and encourage vocations to religious life.

Apr 26 meeting: The Papal visit

May 10th, 2008

Special thanks to those who attended our April 26 meeting.

Fr. Dan Hennessey shared his experiences during the weekend of the Papal visit, as well as his time at the Papal Mass in Yankee Stadium. Fr. Dan even got to kiss the pope’s ring, and told how powerful it was to kiss “the ring of the Fisherman.”

You can use the slideshow below to see video stills of Fr. Dan kissing the pope’s ring. The first photo was taken by a photographer at the event; all video stills are taken from EWTN’s video footage of the event.)

As a reminder, our next meeting is this Saturday, May 17. We will begin at 8:30am with Mass, followed by our monthly meeting at 9:30am.

We hope to see you there!
