Partners in Service

2/16/2020

 

Congratulations to our Catholic Charities Partners in Service Honorees!

On Sunday, February 16, Padre Serra joined with other parishes in Ventura County to honor and thank parishioners for their dedication to ministry and life as Jesus' disciple. Padre Serra proudly honored Laurie Nichols and Terri Korell.

Laurie Nichols and her husband Jim joined Padre Serra when it was established in July 1988. Over the past 32 years, Laurie has been an engaged parishioner and disciple of Jesus. In the early years, she was a faith formation catechist, children's liturgy facilitator, alter server leader, and confirmation retreat volunteer. In the past 15 years, Laurie has served on the baptism team, as a Eucharistic Minister and, with her husband Jim, on the married couples retreat team. She has led our parish Welcome Team from its inception five years ago and currently leads the 44-member lector team. Through it all, she has sung in the alto section of the adult choir, which brings her tremendous joy.

Terri Korell's life of ministry began in high school, where she was president of the Young Catholics in Action at San Gabriel Mission High School in San Gabriel, CA. She received her degree in nursing and had dedicated her working life to caring for the health needs of her patients for 46 years. Since 2002, she has served as a Eucharistic Minister. For the last twelve years, she has been a member of our parish's St. Vincent De Paul conference, where she has served as the Vincentian conference and district recording secretaries. Most recently, she has served as our conference's president.

33 Days to Morning Glory

1/4/2020

 
Encounter Jesus through Mary.
Written by Fr. Michael Gaitley, 33 Days to Morning Glory is a six-week small group journey to draw closer to Jesus through his mother, culminating in consecration to him through Mary. We'll learn what the Church and four great saints - Louis de Montfort, Maximilian Kolbe, Mother Teresa, John Paul II - have to teach us about the power and influence Mary and then how to live as better disciples. Whether you are brand new to the concept of Marian Consecration, or you wish to renew your consecration, you are invited.

Visio Divina

12/1/2019

 

Noticing God during Lent through the images in my life.
Dr. Michael Cunningham

Monday, February 3
7:00 pm
​Serra Center

Doors open at 6:30 for refreshments

Visio Divina is an ancient prayer form, often referred to as praying with icons. However, it is so much more…Dr. Cunningham will lead us through a prayerful experience of Visio Divina and how we can use it in our everyday lives to deepen our relationship with God.

By the end of the session, you will be able to use this ancient and contemplative prayer form with your cell phone and use photography to reflect on the glory and meaning which surrounds our everyday lives.

​The Lenten period gives us the reason to dedicate some special time for reflection and contemplation in this simple but powerful prayer form.

Michael Cunningham OFS is a Secular Franciscan and Retreat Center Director at Mater Dolorosa in the Sierra Madre.

No cost.

Tuesday, October 15
Serra Center
6:30 doors open

Founded by Fr. Greg Boyle in 1988, Homeboy Industries is the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world. Homeboy provides hope, training, and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women, to redirect their lives and become contributing members of the community.

While Fr. Greg was initially scheduled to be here and regrets that he is called away, we have the unique opportunity to see Fr. G and Homeboys Industries through the eyes of the people who know him best.

Representative Homeboys will be with us to share the stories that brought them to Fr. G and how he and his outreach ministry forever changed their lives. 

Learn more about Homeboy here.
