We have dinner meetings twice a month, on the first and third Tuesdays. We start off with Mass at 5:30pm, followed by a social half-hour dinner, and a speaker. Our usual venue is either Manresa Jesuit Retreat House or The National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica.
Monthly, our club offers a program where a priest, sister or another speaker is invited to share their thoughts and stories with regard to their own vocation. We are always eager to listen, from their perspective, what the latest trends seem or need to be. This is a great time to affirm our guest's decision to serve.
Occasionally we are invited to other venues of interest, including Sacred Heart Seminary, retreat houses, and convents. The third week meetings all have speakers of interest from among the priests, sisters, and officials and managers of AOD programs. Occasionally we have speakers at the "Informal" meeting as well. These are listed on the Meetings and Events Calendar at the left. These speakers deepen our knowledge and appreciation of the origins of vocations and the work of clergy, missionaries, and Archdiocesan leadership.
Annual Special events include a Serran member and helper Christmas Party, Golf Outing, Desert Meal (a luncheon that raises donations for seminarians' annual Holy Land Trip), and Valentine's Day cookie delivery to seminarians at Sacred Heart Seminary. We look forward to arranging other one time events within member parishes that are limited only by the imaginations and ideas of our members and helpers!
