News from the Chancery is published each week to share information and upcoming events with the people of the Diocese of Victoria.
We have 2 items to share with you today:
1) Serra is a global organization of lay Catholics who promote and foster vocations to the priesthood and consecrated religious life. Work is underway to start a Serra club in our Diocese, and the organizers invite everyone to their 2nd Anniversary Celebration on Thursday, July 25 at Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Victoria (4635 Elk Lake Dr). Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will start at 6 pm, with Mass at 6:30 and a small reception to follow. To learn more about Serra, please visit https://serracanada.com/about-serra/
2) The Catholic Women's Leadership Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 cohort of their Leadership Program.
