X High School Dec. 27-29. The St. Pius Lady Golden Lions advanced to the
semi-finals, before being defeated by the Villa Maria Academy Victors
of Erie, Pa. The Serra Club is a worldwide organization of lay Catholics
named after Blessed Junipero Serra, an 18th century Franciscan missionary
who founded early California missions. The mission of the Serra Club is
to promote religious vocations through awareness and affirmation programs.
