St. Junipero Serra (1713-1784) 

Our Name
A Franciscan missionary, St. Junipero Serra (who was beatified by Pope John Paul II on September 25, 1988 and canonized by Pope Francis on September 23, 2015) is well-known as the 18th century founder of nine California missions who converted thousands of native Americans to our Catholic faith.

Our Inspiration
Father Serra's missions were established along El Camino Real, which linked his Church-centered communities up and down the California coast. By linking clubs throughout the world, Serra International strives to foster and promote vocations to the priesthood and religious life and to further Catholicism by encouraging its members, in fellowship through education, to fulfill their vocations to service.

Father Serra inspires us to become missionaries ourselves as we nurture and support vocations.  The St. Serra Club of Des Moines invites you to join us and help carry out this program of renewal by which all Serrans recommit themselves to furthering Serra International's mission.
