Gary Stix, "Traces of a Distant Past", Scientific American, pp38-45, July 2008

"Fifty or sixty thousand years ago a small band of Africans crossed the strait [of the Red Sea] in tiny boats never to return. Those first trekkers out of Africa brought with them the physical and behavioural traits - the large brains and capacity for language - that characterize fully modern humans.
"Geneticists can track the path of ancient migrations by examining genetic markers in Y chromosomes from men who hail from different parts of the world. Each marker such as M168 or M89, identifies a lineage of men and where the lineage originated. By building an evolutionary tree based on observing many living people with the markers, investigators can determine the approximate ages of the lineages."

Life is more than a career. Happiness comes from giving of self. A vocation is a complete gift of yourself to another person, whether in marriage, or to the person of Jesus Christ in single and religious life.

Blessed Junipero Serra

You must have Java enabled to see breaking news...

Serra is comprised of groups of Catholic lay people who join together in the life of the Church. One purpose is to foster vocations to the priesthood and the religious life. Another equally important purpose is to help each member grow in his or her faith. Each club strives to become a "university of Christian principles," contributing to the education and spiritual growth of its members. As Serrans work together and get to know each other, a special fellowship develops.

Membership of Serra is open to any adult Catholic who is willing to embrace the five elements of Serra. We are Catholic men and women of all ages from all walks of life ... businesspersons, homemakers, lawyers, teachers, farmers, retirees. All share a deep faith, desiring action.

The Serra Club of Canberra gained its Charter on 15th April 1978. The Club undertakes a range of activities towards its goals. The club meets monthly for Mass and a dinner meeting. At most meetings a speaker or a panel presents a subject of interest and challenge to Catholics. Serrans foster each others' spiritual growth through prayer, spiritual reading, shared Eucharist and discussions at club meetings.
