We purposefully enroll a freshman class that reflects the diversity of the community we serve. We focus on an applicant's foundation, as well as his genuine desire to be an active Padre committed to the values of respect, integrity, inclusion and compassion.

Liturgy

Masses

Student body liturgies are held at various times during the school year. They are uplifting celebrations of the Serra community. Our Padres volunteer for readings and reflections, and the Serra Praise Band adds an inspirational dimension to every Mass.

Weekly Mass

Weekly Mass is offered every Wednesday morning in the chapel at 7:20 a.m. The extended Serra community is invited to join us for this eucharistic celebration.

Prayer Services

A variety of prayer services complement our Masses. The Thanksgiving Prayer Service acknowledges first semester Christian Service awards. In addition, various Serra groups, classes and teams may request special prayer services.

Reconciliation Services

Every student at Serra will have at least one opportunity per year to attend a reconciliation service through his theology class. These services are held during the seasons of Advent and Lent.
