DAVENPORT — An anonymous donor will match donations up to a maximum of $15,000 through the end of this year to benefit the Saint Serra Club of Davenport. This includes tickets to the annual gala on Nov. 19 or any other contributions.

Colleen Darland, administrative assistant in the Office of Vocations, said the Saint Serra Club’s annual vocations appreciation gala raises money to support the club’s work to promote and foster vocations to religious life — including the permanent diaconate, priesthood and women religious.

The evening begins with Mass at 5:30 p.m. at Sacred Heart Cathedral. A social and dinner follow at The Outing Club. This year’s speaker is Keith Nester of Down to Earth Ministry. Nester is a former Protestant pastor who converted to Catholicism. He has spoken in the Diocese of Davenport several times.
