Welcome!

The Serra Club of Northwest Metro Denver welcomes you and invites you to learn more about joining in our mission and ministry.

Serra International is a global organization of lay Catholic men and women whose objectives 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;

to encourage and affirm vocations to consecrated religious life in the Catholic Church; and

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.

Our Mission and Vision

Our vision is to have all people respond to God’s call to their religious vocation.

Our mission is to foster, affirm and promote vocations to ministry in the Catholic Church

Membership

Make a World of Difference!

How many men and women in your parishes are caring and compassionate individuals who are good listeners, articulate speakers, and loving enthusiastic Catholics?

How many of these special, gifted people have ever been invited to consider becoming a priest, sister, brother, permanent deacon, or full-time lay minister?

Most of our members are retired professionals and are good speakers and organizers. However, the advanced age of most preclude actively pursuing a vocation to either priesthood or consecrated religious life.

Our members are very prayerful and many attend adoration weekly. All enthusiastically support and invite younger people to join the club. We have 11 member couples and 2 father/son combinations. We continually encourage our spouses and children to join.
