Serra International is an apostolate of the world-wide Catholic Church dedicated to fostering and supporting the priesthood and religious vocations. Serrans strive to accomplish their mission through prayer, fellowship and service to the Bishop, priests, sisters and all in religious formation, and in doing so to increase their own holiness.
Serra is a voluntary organization of Catholic men and women fostering vocations to religious life. Serrans take their name from Franciscan missionary Saint Junípero Serra, the 18th century founder of a string of California missions. Like Father Serra in his time, the Serrans of today put faith into action.
St. Serra Mission
Members of Serra are lay Catholic men and women of all ages and backgrounds who ensure the future of our Church by creating a “culture of vocations.”
Our mission is three-fold:
God our Father, today may I have an opportunity by my actions to encourage a vocation to the religious life.
Help me to conduct myself in a Christian manner that I might give proper example particularly to the young.
Through the inspiration of Your Holy Spirit, may I also support those in religious life in their vocation of service to your Church.
May the sincerity of my prayers and my concern for vocations result in an increase of laborers for Jesus and His Church.
Amen.
