Today the Serra Club of North Columbus held a luncheon which was attended by approximately 170 girls from Catholic schools throughout the diocese, from grades 8 through 12. The Serra Club’s mission is to encourage, increase, and support priestly and consecrated religious vocations. The speakers included Fr. William Hahn, vocations director for the Diocese of Columbus, and Fr. Stash Dailey, diocesan vicar for religious orders. Five religious orders were represented, including our own Dominican Sisters from St. Michael’s. Bishop Brennan, who was at the Josephinum on other business, also stopped in to say a few words.
Over the summer, our council voted to fully fund the Serra Club North’s vocations luncheons for teenage girls and boys. This was funded solely by our annual Hoagies for Heaven vocations fundraiser, which would not have been possible without the help of all the volunteers from our council who helped take orders, assemble, and distribute subs. Thanks to you, these girls got to hear three inspiring speakers, and brief messages from sisters from the five religious orders that were represented.
