Our Mission

The Serra Club of Arlington are lay Catholics of all ages and from all walks of life who promote vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life.  Our club is part of the Serra Council of the United States, a member of Serra International, the global lay apostolate for fostering vocations.

Serra International is the only lay organization aggregated to a Primary Pontifical Work. This means that the Serra Club members belong to an organization instituted by the Vatican to advance a particular goal of the Catholic Church.

Aggregation (or affiliation) to this Pontifical Work reflects not only specific support from the Vatican for our Serra Club mission, but also confers special spiritual benefits on all Serrans.
