RECongress inspires, transforms, and sends us out to spread the joy of the Gospel, to be a voice for justice and to serve the needs of the world.

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.

The official installation for all newly trained servers.
On this day, at the 9:00am liturgy, all altar servers will process into church in a grand opening procession. This is the only time when the entire college of servers is acknowledged in their ministry of altar serving in our parish. ​It is understood that some of the servers will have already served a liturgy for that weekend, but all will be present none-the-less as a sign of unity.

Questions,concerns: contact Bob Shadduck.
