Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic Church? Do you have questions about what the Church teaches about suffering, hope and forgiveness? Do you wonder why we worship as we do, what happens at confession, why the Blessed Virgin Mary is so important to Catholics? These and many other topics are explored on Tuesday evenings at the parish in an informal setting. Come and see.
For more information, please contact Catherine Shadduck at (805) 482·6417 x331 or catherine@padreserra.org
Jesus was a teacher and, for the most part, he taught adults in synagogues, in the Temple, on festive occasions, and often in his daily gatherings with people. His goal was to convey the genuine message of God: to let it be known and to guide many people to accept it. Faith formation and development is lifelong, growing and maturing in various ways as we age. Our baptismal call is to develop ourselves as disciples and proclaimers of the message of Jesus.
A Basic Faith Formation Center (9 sessions) is an opportunity to learn anew the theology of our faith on various topics: images of God, scripture, liturgy, sacraments, morality, church’s social mission, discipleship, prayer and much more. For more information please contact Teresa Runyon teresa@padreserra.org (805) 482 · 6417 x322 Sponsored by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

Haugk Also visit: Care | A Caregiver's Prayer Lord Jesus, who from the cross gave the care of your Mother to St. John, help us to realize that you have blessed us too with the care of someone in our family. Help us to be your gentle hands and loving compassion on earth. Father in heaven, you know my heart, calm my anxieties. Pour out your grace and mercy in my life like a healing balm. Lighten my burden, answer my prayer, and give me the strength to do what so often seems impossible. Spirit of life, remind me to breath - give me a quiet place to rest when I need it and breathe in me your loving peace. Remain my constant companion through this journey. And, when it is time for me to let go, help me remember that my dear one is leaving my loving embrace for yours. Amen |

They help all of us be responsible stewards by taking up the collection at the liturgy. This ministry is open to new members.

Take Communion to the sick, hospitalized and homebound, thereby taking Christ through faith and charity, on behalf of the whole community.
Celebrating the Eucharist is central to our faith. However, due to illness or injury, many Catholics in our parish and community cannot join in the celebration.
Our desire is to stay connected with them so we have a team of volunteers, Eucharistic Ministers to the Sick, who bring Communion to convalescent, nursing, and individual homes as well as local hospitals.
If you or a loved one are sick, hospitalized and/or homebound and would like Communion brought to you, please contact the parish office or Deacon Luc Papillon.

How many of your family and friends are wonderful people who are not yet Catholic? Often all it takes for them to consider the possibility of becoming Catholic is a little prompt from us. Begin by sharing a story of your own. Ask them about their beliefs. Invite them to the parish picnic on June 16, where they can experience our welcoming community for themselves.

Couple's Ministry leads a wonderful, spirit-filled retreat every year. All couples are encouraged to participate in this enriching opportunity. Each year we alternate a one day enrichment opportunity (onsite) with a weekend retreat (offsite).
The Catechism teaches that "Christ’s grace in the Sacrament of Marriage protects the essential purposes of marriage: the good of the couple and the generation and education of children. These purposes are protected and fostered by the permanence of the marriage bond and the mutual fidelity of spouses” (United States Catholic Catechism for Adults, 283).
