Serra Club is a voluntary association of outstanding Catholic laypersons who dedicate themselves to a two-fold objective, fostering and sustaining vocations to the priesthood and consecrated religious life and furthering Catholicism through enduring friendships among Catholic men and women. With the prior permission of the Ordinary of any diocese, Serra Clubs may work on vocations to the priesthood and deaconate and the religious life. One major internal activity is the continuing education of the membership so that each Serran recognizes and responds in his/her own life to God’s call to holiness in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.
