President’s Message February 2011
PRAY-INVITE-ENCOURAGE AND AFFIRM, these words summarize the essence of our Serra Club of El Paso Mission.
Our Sisters Dinner scheduled for 5 February 2011 gives us an excellent opportunity to encourage and affirm our Sisters serving our Diocese. I hope many Serran will join us in this celebration. The Serra USA web site offers us some excellent information about inviting young people to consider a vocation of consecrated service to our Church.
I reproduce this for your information: THERE ARE VOCATIONS: Which manifest themselves. They must be fostered. Which are not conscious of themselves. They must be awaked. Which do not dare manifest themselves. They must be found and encourages. Which are in fear of being lost. They must be reassured. Which meet with opposition. They must be strengthened. Which are paralyzed by poverty. They must be helped.
We know that our club needs and welcomes new members. It is a pleasure to welcome Ms. Jeannine Nobles and Mr. Albert Crager as new member.
Jane Thomson invites people to join us. What a good example she sets for us all. Thanks Jane.
Our Club offers prayers and condolences to our Serra Members Al Adkin for the loss of his loving wife Grace and Andy Portillo for the loss of his Brother Homero.
