Audiovisual Ministry

1/12/2020

 
This is a fairly new ministry at Padre Serra, but one that will inevitably grow and deepen.

We are looking for people to help “mix” sound at Mass and at some Serra Center events, but this will likely expand to other responsibilities sooner rather than later. Training will be provided.


If you’re interested, please contact Bill Giles at audiovisual@padreserra.org who is coordinating this exciting ministry.

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.
