When we moved here we looked for the right church. On our first visit to Padre Serra it felt like a great fit. That is a lasting memory that I will not forget. Also Fr. Patrick thought my husband and I were much younger than we were so that was also apart of my favorite memories her at the Parish.

Ami Milla

I love the women's retreats. You get to form more personal connections and learn how fun these women are.

Ann Duffy

Nothing compares to the Easter Vigil Mass at Padre Serra. Ever since we started going to this Mass, we've loved it. The beautiful readings, wonderful choir, new baptisms, and, of course, celebration of Jesus' Resurrection make this our favorite Mass of the year. Our kids are adults so feel free to publish their names. Also, we all consent to sharing our email addresses.

My favorite memory with Padre Serra was being part of Alter server group. Bob is such a nice person and always encouraged to serve God diligently and also have fun with friends. He motivated us with gifts, and I still kept the bag that he presented.

I’ve been a 30-year parishioner, and the parish is like “family.” The people are so friendly & welcoming that we’ve always felt like we belonged there.

Barbara Karplus

Teaching children's Faith Formation for 15 years between 2007 and 2022, especially the last 11 years helping 5th graders learn about the Bible.

Barbara Likovich

Our favorite memory at Padre Serra was when our church building opened 25 years ago. Right away, we fell in love with our unique “Mass in the Round” architecture. Instead of looking at “backs,” we were able to see many parishioners praying and singing with their happy faces. Instantly we felt we belonged!

Becky Hosseini

I love the welcome letter, how genuine Father Patrick is & how welcoming the people are. Having retired & moved here from Michigan (and not knowing a soul) I feel so blessed to be a part of this wonderful community. Oooh, and the music ministers to my soul. This church has so much to offer. It really is a community unto itself.

At the groundbreaking ceremony, we were told we could get dirt and put it in a container to bring home as souvenirs. I kept that glass jar for many, many years. I watched the development of the construction of the church, and that was exciting. Another memory was the unveiling of the huge crucifix in the church. The church was full, and there were many reporters taking pictures. I had the opportunity to meet the artist.

Benita Bheemisetty

My favorite memory with Padre Serra was being a peer leader during summer programs. It was so nice to enjoy the summer break with fun activities with other parish friends.

Bill Moody

/
I have so many, over the past 25 years we have been coming to Padre Serra. Family weddings, confirmations, baptisms, the building of the Church and the Hall, and watching as we deliver angel tags gifts to the needy parishes in our area. We are lucky to belong.

Bill Routolo

All of my best friends go here! And I love to sit with them.

Bill Rumble

I have so many favorite memories of Padre Serra Parish - RCIA, our Marriage Convalidation, our Confirmation, Living Liturgy, Help and Hope Ministry I ran for 6 years, all the great people we have met and friends that we have made, our Grandkids First Communion, our grandson's Confirmation. Padre Serra is a huge part of our lives, every day! I thank God every day for bringing me to Him, to His Church and to Padre Serra Parish.

Bob Demyan

We have been parishioners since 1988!! We are founding members and love this parish!!! We used to do Donuts and Many Meals.

Breanne Eshelman

I have wonderful memories from making my Confirmation at Padre Serra over 25 years ago! I remember the retreat and how special it was to read letters from our parents. I also remember the washing of the feet. So touching! It was such a fantastic Confirmation program!

Mass in general. Being united as one mystical body to offer up the sacrifice of Mass.

My favorite memory is recent, the outdoor Mass held during Covid. When I was young, we would attend mass in the summer near Calaveras Big Trees State Park. Mass was held under the large pine trees on an Altar that I believe one of the parishioners made. We sat on fallen logs that were laid around the Alter. Just thinking about it fills my heart with joy. A beautiful setting provided by GOD. Having Mass on the Grass took me back to that wonderful time in my life, attending that beautiful outdoor Mass with my dad and siblings. Note: there was no physical church in that community, so outdoor Mass made it easier for those living there to attend Mass in town rather than driving down Highway 4 to attend church.

Martha Reyes-Callejas

I love and look forward to worshipping with the phenomenal choir, especially at the 11am Sunday mass. Building community after mass with "coffee and doughnuts." When my boys were younger, VBS would be an activity we would all enjoy being a part of. We are so blessed to call Padre Serra our home parish, our heaven.

Toya Banks

The memory I cherish the most is the warm welcome I received on my first visit to Padre Serra. I truly felt the spirit of the lord in this parish.

Robert Shadduck

The Dedication of the Parish on 1 July 1995. Taking our altar servers to the Cathedral to serve Red Masses and Deacon Ordination liturgies.

Michael Ramirez

Teaching the Jr. High kids.

Mary Mayhew

We have so many wonderful memories. I think we especially enjoy Christmas Eve mass. It’s always a homily full of our Lord’s holy inspiration, all the families arriving early to get a seat, the church is perfectly decorated, with Jesus delicately placed in the manger and our choir that has practiced endlessly. All of our Padre Serra families are decked out in their finest and behaving at their best. Everything comes together for the birth of our Lord Jesus.

Sr. Lana Chang

My first favorite memory would have to be seeing the announcement for the Front Desk opening in the bulletin the second week after we moved to Camarillo and then getting the job after I applied and interviewed for the position. Then every single PSP moment after that has been another favorite memory!

Pam Valovcin

/
Father Bill Lowe's ordination as a Catholic priest, with our two daughters altar serving at the mass. So many others - our daughters' 1st communions, 1st reconciliations and confirmations, parish picnics on the lawn of the seminary, outdoor masses during the pandemic, the best music ministry...

Mary Ann (Sunshine) Peterson

/ / / / / /
Always feeling welcomed, Warm reception by our Parish Families. The opportunity to list our Special Intentions. Warm Hugs from Our Father Patrick. Wonderful way to begin my week.

Doug Carroll

Working with the doughnuts ministry and meeting new people here at church.

Mike Morgan

When we first broke ground at the church, I was the Mayor of Camarillo. So I always remember when I finished breaking ground, I heard over my shoulder, “Michael Me Boy.” It was Father Kidney, and he was so good I switched parishes.

Gary Galles

/
Coming from a church that prided itself on being bible based, I was struck by how much more Padre Serra reverenced the Bible and how much more effort went into an effective group of lectors. That was a powerful outreach to me.

David Gutierrez

/ / /
There are so many. The members of the Landings ministry welcomed me with open arms and hugs. The fellowship as a member of the Living Last Supper. The joy of gathering as a parish in the Padre Serra hospitality suite at the LA Religious Education Congress. Ultimately, it’s the people.

Dana Janowicz

/ /
My favorite memory of Padre Serra is being able to raise my children in such a wonderful, loving and accepting church.
