On Sunday 1 March 2026, we were pleased to have the Serrans visit the seminary for Mass and lunch. The Serrans are a group of lay faithful who promote vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life. They do this first and foremost by an apostolate of prayer. Each Serra member undertakes to pray each day for vocations to the priesthood and religious life: "pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest" (Lk 10:2). They also undertake fundraising to support the formation of priests and religious. Overall, they seek to create a culture promoting vocations in the Church. Their name is from their patron, Saint Juniperro Serra, the Franciscan missionary priest responsible for the evangelisation of what is now California.
We thank them for their prayerful support! May God bless them in their work.
