St. Junipero Serra
Our Patron Saint
St. Serra’s devotion to God, preaching the gospel, as well as his zeal for evangelization, is what defined his sainthood and makes him the ideal patron Saint for priests and religious.
We are officially recognized by the Holy See
The Vatican recognizes Serra International as the only global lay apostolate for vocations in the Catholic Church. Serra Club of St. Louis is an affiliate of Serra International.
