NASHVILLE SERRA CLUB

In 1935, Serra was formed in the United States when a group of Catholic lay persons decided to organize for the distinct purpose of promoting and fostering vocations to the priesthood and consecrated religious life... Father Junipero Serra y Ferrer, O.F.M. a Franciscan priest (who was beautified by Pope John Paul II on September 25, 1988 and Canonized by Pope Francis on September 23, 2015) whose ministry in the 1700's included portions of California and Mexico, was chosen as the club's patron and the organization was named after him... Serrans can be found serving Christ all over the world. They are Catholics that come from a wide array of professional and job-related backgrounds, ethnic roots, and generational age groups. Serrans are united by their passion for faithfully serving our Lord through their ministry of fostering vocations to religious life and priesthood.
