There are advantages of belonging to any organization which meets regularly.

• We have the support of like minded members and are able to work together with our priests and bishops
• Belonging to an International organization gives an opportunity to work for the church worldwide
• We often need the support and advice of others.
• Larger projects need more members
• We answer our call to promote a culture of vocations.
• It is an opportunity for us to grow spiritually
• Regular speakers at meetings keep us informed

Pray

The first requisite of a Serran is to realize the power of prayer. Serra has many forms of prayer to promote vocations in the parish and at home

Be aware

This is a mind set that keeps Serrans focused on the need to promote vocations whenever or wherever the opportunity arises

Affirm and Support

We all should recognize the need to support our priests and religious. There are many ways of doing this. Serra has many ideas for support.

A favourite sport of Catholics is to criticize their priests and religious. It is important that there is someone, a Serran, there to speak on their behalf.

Serra clubs usually meet twice a month.

The format of the meeting is

• Gathering
• Mass
• Meal
  Jesus shared his life with the people of his time and it is over a meal that Serrans can share their lives and get to know each other
• Presentation, often a speaker
  One purpose of having a speaker is to learn more about our faith and an opportunity to have questions answered.
