Cardinal Sean blogs on Serra Chartering
July 4th, 2009
Cardinal Sean posted a blog about the recent chartering ceremony for the Serra Club of Boston:
On Friday, there was a Mass at St. John’s Seminary and a dinner to charter a new Serra Club for Boston.
We are hoping that promotion of priestly vocations and vocation recruitment will be a very important part of the Year for Priests.
Serra Club takes its name from Blessed Junipero Serra, a Franciscan priest who founded a number of California missions in the 18th century.
I have always had a special spot in my heart for them. My dad joined Serra in 1960 and was a very active member his whole life.
The first president of the Boston club is Loretta Gallagher, who worked very closely with our Director of Vocations, Father Dan Hennessey on establishing the new chapter.

Feast Day of Blessed Junipero Serra
July 1st, 2009
July 1 is the official Feast Day of Blessed Junipero Serra.
The Liturgy of the Hours supplement offers the following prayer on this feast day:
God most high,
your servant Junipero Serra
brought the gospel of Christ
to the peoples of Mexico and California
and firmly established the Church among them.
By his intercession,
and through the example of his evangelical zeal,
inspire us to be faithful witnesses of Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Happy Feast Day to Serrans worldwide!
