Who we are . . .
With more than 700 clubs in 36 countries, the Serrans are
likely to be just next door. Serra clubs meet twice a month; in addition,
each club schedules vocation awareness and affirmation activities throughout
the year. There are many benefits to membership with a Serra club:
- Spiritual Growth: Spiritual growth and enrichment through
the deepening of your faith and increasing knowledge of the church's teachings.
- Education: Study of current events happening in the public
square in light of our Christian principles.
- Service Projects and Social Activities: Association with
priests, religious and Catholic men and women who are faith filled, dedicated
and generous - all sharing the ideals of the church and Serra and working
toward a common goal.

Our Mission
- To foster and promote vocations to the Catholic priesthood
and religious life.
- To appreciate and encourage the priests and religious
we now have.
- To further Catholicism by encouraging its members in
fellowship, through education, to fulfill their Christian vocations to
service.
Serran Prayer for Vocations
O God, Who wills not the death of a sinner
but rather that he be converted and live
grant we beseech you
through the intercession of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin
Saint Joseph, her spouse, Blessed Junipero Serra and all the saints
an increase of laborers for Your Church
fellow laborers with Christ to spend and consume themselves for souls
through the same Jesus Christ Your Son
Who lives and reigns with You
In the unity of the Holy Spirit
One God forever and ever.
Amen.
