My first Sunday at Padre Serra I was welcomed to sit at a table and have coffee with a group and made to feel very welcome. Many thanks to them and the spirit of this parish. We are so blessed to have the wonderful area front patio for gathering after mass. The natural and architectural beauty of Padre Serra Parish is wonderful and uplifting. It designed to encourage the parishioners to gather and celebrate.
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.
I enjoy participating in our donut & coffee ministry…even though I didn’t think it was a good idea at the time. I have met some great people, and it feels good to do my share in supporting Padre Serra. I have also donated blood regularly for over 40 years. I don’t do it for any reward…I do it because it’s the right thing to do. Both of these projects give me a good feeling about Padre Serra.
