One of my favorite memories was when the kids who received their first communion stood on their chairs at the end of Mass so everyone could see them.

My favorite memory was our courtyard wine party. I really got to see how friendly and kind my fellow parishioners are.

The warm welcomes from the parishioners when I first joined the parish!

There are SO many wonderful memories I have at Padre Serra Parish... from receiving sacraments to connecting with others in learning/discussion groups, to meaningful and beautiful holiday celebrations, to serving alongside wonderful people in various ministries! Most recently, I celebrated my 40-year career in the defense industry with a mass, blessing, and fiesta at Padre Serra! The love and community in this parish are a deep source of joy and a call to service in my life!

The entire weekend of celebration when Padre Serra Church was consecrated and dedicated as a new church.
