Dear Friends,
We are so blessed to have 40 young people make the choice to go to a Catholic retreat called All for God, Steubenville San Diego on July 28 - 30 2017.

These young people age 17 to 27 are poised for a transformational experience that is authentically Catholic.

The cost is $200 per person for the three day event. If you would like to show your support of our young people please make a donation to Padre Serra Parish, write Youth Retreat in the memo line. We would love to pay a portion of the cost of this experience for this group.

Thank you sincerely, may God bless you for your caring heart.
