Serrans are lay Catholics – men and women of all ages and from all walks of life dedicated to promote and foster vocations.
The objectives of Serra are:
To foster and promote vocations to the ministerial priesthood in the Catholic Church, as a particular vocation to service and to support priests in their sacred ministry;
Also, to encourage and affirm vocations to consecrated religious life in the Catholic Church;
Finally, to assist members to recognize and respond in their own lives, to God’s call to holiness in Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit.
