Our next meeting is this coming Saturday, July 19th at St. Mary’s in Waltham. We will be honored to have Fr. Mike Harrington, Assistant Director of Vocations for the archdiocese, as the celebrant for Mass at 8:30 AM. (Fr. Dan Hennessey is making his way “Down Under” for another “intimate gathering” with the Holy Father at World Youth Day in Sydney!)
Michelle Dickson and Loretta Gallagher will report on their participation at the Serra National Conference held in South Bend, Indiana in June. One thing we can tell you: there is great excitement from Serrans all over the country about the future chartering of the Serra Club of Boston — and that joy is very contagious !! So please, everyone, try and bring a friend to the meeting so we can reach our quota of members for club chartering in the spring!
The sale of the “Pray for Our Priests” magnets is going really well. Thanks to the June 8th article in Our Sunday Visitor (a national publication), we have had many requests for them from all over the country. We now have lapel pins for sale also. They will be available at the meeting.
One of our members, Geraldine DiBenedetto has been invited to talk about Serra on radio and also represent Serra Boston at an upcoming Catholic festival in North Andover. The Adopt-a-Priest Apostolate is almost ready to roll and you can hear more about that on Saturday. So a lot is happening and all are invited to share in the excitement !!
See you Saturday, God-willing. If it is warm, we will have that much more to “offer up” on behalf of our seminarians, priests and religious (not to mention Fr. Dan and all those traveling to Australia for World Youth Day)
