It's time once again to gather as a community and celebrate a Sunday mass with our Seminarians in formation. If you've never been to a mass at the Seminary, it's quite a wonderful experience. The Seminarians want to meet us Young Serrans, and here's a time to let them know we appreciate their sacrifice and dedication to discerning the priesthood. They much appreciate our support and prayers. Young Serrans are responsible this particular Sunday to provide donuts and juice for a light reception of meet and greet after mass. Please consider joining us and let us know if you can assist with refreshments.

Event Title: Jesus, Java, Jam on Feast of Blessed John Paul II

How awesome that this month's cafe is the same day as the feast day of our beloved Blessed John Paul II. He taught us to not be afraid and to evangelize in a radical way using other mediums to reach out to people. This coffee house is a response to his message. In case you didn't know, the special monstrance we use at the Shepherd's Cafe was blessed by Blessed John Paul II in Rome. :) Graces will be flowing! We will also have confession available during Adoration as well so please come by 7pm.

Live music AND 1st CD Release by Lauren Oddo following Adoration. See you all there! Bring your friends, forward this email. May you be blessed an have a fabulous week till I see you at the cafe!
