Our High School Teens and Young Adults are invited to take part in this inaugural pilgrimage to St. Martinville, Louisiana. This will be a life changing, cultural faith experience.

The Sacred Heart Servants Mission is an opportunity for hands on service to the poor. Participants will work directly with families in need, learn about the committed religious life of our hosts, participate in the Fete-Dieu de Teche eucharistic boat procession and experience the unique food and culture of this region of Louisiana.

Eighty-seven high school teens and thirteen adults received the sacrament of Confirmation on May 27, 2018.

In Confirmation, the faith received at Baptism is strengthened. The Holy Spirit, that confirmed the apostles on Pentecost, will pour out her gifts on the candidates, completing their initiation and giving them strength and courage to live a Catholic Christian way of life.

Visit Confirmation to view the full photo gallery of this beautiful liturgy.

Talk About Dating

8/12/2017

High school is a time when teenagers begin to think about dating, making communication between teens and their parents even more important.

Consider having an open, honest conversation with your teen about dating and appropriate relationships. Talk about what they want out of a relationship, and what their values are. Make sure they know how to communicate what they feel comfortable with, and what makes them uncomfortable. Talk with them about Catholic morals, and make sure they know you are always available.

To request a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Talking with Your Teen about Dating Safety” email jvienna@laarchdiocese.org

For specific questions contact brett@padreserra.org

Sponsor a Teen or Young Adult

7/26/2017

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.
