How do Serrans support and encourage a “Culture of Vocations”?
AWARENESS
Serrans coordinate events and programs that raise community awareness of the gifts of religious life.
AFFIRMATION
In ways big and small, Serrans affirm the lives and works of those who have already answered the call to religious life.
INVITATION
Serrans are not afraid to ask: “Have you ever considered a calling to the religious life?”
PRAYER
St. Pope John Paul II said “Prayer moves the heart of God.” The foundation of all Serran efforts is prayer for vocations.
We invite you to join St. Serra of Siouxland. For more information, contact:
