We are men and women from all walks of life.  We share a deep faith and a desire to ensure that we will always have Priests and Religious to work among us

What are our aims?

a)  to promote, support and sustain Vocations to the Priesthood and the Religious Life

b) to encourage our members, in fellowship, to develop their own knowledge and understanding of their Faith

What are the Vocations needs of the Church?

Our Church has always needed srong leadership and powerful role models.  Laypeople must help to call forth Priests, Brothers, Sisters, Permanent Deacons and Lay Ministers from within the community.  Equally, they must affirm those who already serve the Church so that they may continue to find fulfilment in their vocations

What do we do for Vocations?

We pray daily and encourage others to pray at least monthly for the Vocations we need.  We work with our Bishops and Directors of Vocations in many and varied ways.  We encourage awarenesss in parishes by, for example, holding Vocations Vigils

When do we meet?

We meet twice a month with a meal and (usually) a Mass.  We foster our spiritual growth by prayer, spiritual reading and listening to speakers on topics of interest

Why "Serra?"

In 1935 the founding group of laymen in Seattle USA chose as their patron Father Junipero Serra, the Franciscan who founded missions in California.  Father Sera was beatified in 1988
