January 9, 2009


Guests: Al Donahoe, President of the Serra Club of Des Moines and Mike Downey of the Serra Club of Des Moines
Featured Saint of the Day: St. Adrian of Canterbury

Today Jenny was not feeling well, so Deacon Rick spoke with Al Donahoe and Mike Downey of the Serra Club of Des Moines. The Serra club is a lay group of men and women whose goal is to foster vocations to priesthood and religious life. They gather together under the banners of prayer, service and fellowship.

Under those banners there are many activities such as mass and adoration once a month, lunches with engaging speakers, and events to support those who have chosen a vocation to the priesthood or religious life. Those events include an appreciation dinner for seminarians, an appreciation dinner for priests, an appreciation dinner for the bishop and an appreciation dinner for religious sisters. The activities are spritually rejuvenating.

The Serra Club is looking for new members and anyone is welcome to attend their upcoming events. January 16, from 12-1:30pm there will be a luncheon at the Farm Bureau with the guest speaker being the District Governor of the Serra Club International. It is a perfect time to come with your questions.

You can get more information on the Serra Club through their website: www.dmserra.com
