Dear St. Serra Parents and Staff,

Mrs. Audrey Tellers, founding Principal of St. Serra Catholic School, passed away on December 28, 2022. The entire St. Junipero Serra Catholic School community, including former staff and alumni students, are mourning her passing. In 1995, Audrey took on the momentous challenge of being the Principal for a newly established Catholic elementary school in South Orange County. From 1995 to 2002, Audrey’s contributions were fundamental to the founding and advancement of the school. During this time, she formed many loving relationships with members of the school’s staff and community. Since then, St. Serra has grown and flourished. Thousands of young students have been blessed with a strong academic and faith foundation, thanks to receiving a Catholic education at St. Serra.

We wish to pay our final respects to our colleague and friend. On Monday, February 13, 2023, you are invited to join our St. Serra School community in celebrating the life of Mrs. Audrey Tellers, at 10:00 a.m. in the Student Activity Center, with a special Memorial Mass celebrated by Fr. Jim Dunning. To help us plan appropriately, please RSVP.

If you have any fond memories you would like to share of Audrey, please complete this form. Submissions will be compiled and shared with the Tellers’ family.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, 

And let perpetual light shine upon her.
