Fr. Dan Kennedy Scholarship dinner for Seminary

January 18th, 2009

On Saturday March 7th, St. John’s Seminary in Brighton will host a Fr. Dan Kennedy Scholarship Dinner in honor of Fr. Dan Kennedy.

As of this posting (Sunday 1/18) there are only 200 seats available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Serra Club of Boston already has a table of eight reserved and is working on getting a second table together. The cost is $100 per ticket ($50 for priests) and all proceeds go to the scholarship fund at the seminary.

Fishers of Men DVD online

January 15th, 2009

Serra Boston has posted the Fishers of Men DVD to Vimeo.

The Bishops’ Committee on Vocations created this DVD as part of a larger program to actively invite men to consider a vocation to the priesthood. This program, entitled Priestly Life and Vocations Summit: Fishers of Men, is a presbyteral workshop which utilizes the appreciative inquiry method of asking priests about their most positive experiences in the priesthood.
