Serra
To foster and promote vocations to the priesthood in
the Catholic Church as a vocation to service, and to support priests in their
sacred ministry.
To encourage and affirm vocations to the consecrated
religious life in the Catholic Church.
To assist its members to recognize and respond in their own lives to God’s
call to holiness in Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit.
O God, who wills not the death of a sinner, but rather that he be
converted and live, grant we beseech You, through the intercession of the
Blessed Mary ever virgin, Saint Joseph, her spouse, Blessed Junipero Serra, and
all the saints, an increase of laborers for Your Church, fellow laborers with
Christ to spend and consume themselves for souls, through the same Jesus
Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen
O God, You have constituted Your only begotten
Son supreme and eternal Priest for the glory of Your majesty and the salvation
of mankind: grant that those whom He has chosen ministers and dispensers of His
mysteries may be found faithful in fulfilling the ministry they have received.
Amen

The Delchester Serra Club offers presentations on Vocations to all the parishes in our area. The programs offered at this time are for CCD and School aged children. Each program is a 20 to 30 minute presentation in either a classroom or assembly-like environment. We are currently putting together programs for presentation to all ministreries in your parishes – Women’s Club, K. of C., School’s Parent Organization, Holy Name Society, etc. If you would like more information about these programs contact Delchester Serra at vocations@delchester.org .
Scheduling for next year is now in progress.
We welcome new members from our Catholic Community. Our goal is for each parish in our service area to be represented by a parishioner. For membership information, please contact the Delchester Serra Club at membership@delchester.org .
