Research shows that young Catholics who practice their faith in college attend Mass more often, become leaders in their parish and are more likely to consider a religious vocation. Saint Joseph’s and Marian high schools participated in the program last year. This year the Serra Club of South Bend is broadening the program to cover not only the two Catholic high schools but also Catholic students not attending Saint Joseph’s or Marian.
The Serra Club of South Bend is contacting parishes in the western end of the diocese. For more information, call your parish or contact Stephen Elek, Jr. at (574) 291-0550. The Serra mission is to pray, foster and support vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
