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.

My name is Melissa Yeager. I converted and became Catholic about 12 years ago. I remember the first time I walked into Padre Serra, and felt like I was “home”. That feeling has never really left. I am so grateful to be part of this parish family. I have many fond memories, from the mundane to the profound and everything in between. I love Christmas, the Easter Vigil, Trunk or Treat, homemade cookies at Adult Faith Formation events, our social justice ministries and our beautiful statue of Mary. Blessings and peace to all of you.
