As Serra
International is the lay vocation arm of the church, our mission is to
foster and affirm vocations to the ministerial priesthood and vowed religious
life in the United States and through this ministry further our members’
common Catholic faith.

Serra is
a group of lay catholics whose primary objectives
are becoming better informed Catholics on moral and spiritual matters,
seeking out and cultivating new vocations to the priesthood and religious
life and preserving the vocations we already have. The way we achieve these
goals are through prayer and vocation awareness. Serra was chartered in
Tiffin in 1955 with the encouragement of Msgr. Richard Gabel. Daily prayer
for vocations and two supper meetings a month at the Upper Room in St.
Joseph Parish Activity Center to help keep us abreast of the current Church
issues and vocation strategies in which we can all participate. The Serra
movement is now chartered in 38 countries across the world. This years international convention
will be held in Omaha, Nebraska. It features bishops, priests, religious
and Serrans from around the globe. The theme of
this year's convention is "The Role of Christs
Lay Faithful". Please help us with you prayers to relieve the critical
shortage of priests and religious. Keep in mind that our priests and sisters
come from good Catholic families like those right in our own parishes!
