Serra Club

The Serra Club is an international group who take their name from Franciscan missionary Blessed Junípero Serra. Father Serra was an 18th century founder of California missions and like Father Serra in his time, the Serrans of today put faith into action.

Serra started in the 1930s and has since grown into the world’s largest Catholic vocation organization. There are 732 Serra Clubs in 35 countries and with a total membership of over 22,400 lay persons. The United States has over 10,000 members. Serra's purposes have evolved over the years in response to the changing times and needs of the Church, especially in light of the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, responding to Christ's call to "pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest."

The Serra Club of Springfield meets regularly to help lay Catholics grow in faith and to assist Bishop Lucas and our religious communities to promote vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life.
