Serra Boston President wins Catholic Lay Woman of the Year 2009

April 26th, 2009

This year Loretta Gallagher, President of Serra Club of Boston, was named Catholic Laywoman of the Year at this year’s Boston Catholic Women’s Conference.

Loretta was given the award for her work to found the Boston-based chapter of Serra International, her efforts to coordinate and promote the Monthly Prayer Request for Priests apostolate, and her life as a lay Carmelite.

Loretta was introduced to the stage by Vocations Director and Serra Club chaplain Fr. Dan Hennessey.  As Chris Harding noted in his recap of the conference:

Fr. Daniel Hennessey, who heads the Archdiocese of Boston’s vocations office, beamed as he presented the “Laywoman of the Year” award to colleague and friend, Loretta Gallagher, whom he called a “spiritual mother to so many priests and seminarians in the archdiocese.”

As shown in the photo below, Fr. Dan also promoted our “Pray for Priests” magnets in his introduction.
