In July 2007, Shawn spoke to the Globe about experiencing the Eucharist as a deaf person:

“The deaf, we’re very visual people,” said the 34-year-old seminarian. “We depend on [vision] for learning; we can’t hear. Whenever I see the Blessed Sacrament at adoration, the Eucharist, I see Christ there. I use visual imagination [to see] how Christ suffered and died. There’s a picture inside my brain, like a movie. That’s my spirituality. That’s how I communicate with God.”

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!
