National Vocation Awareness Week, celebrated November 5-11, 2023, is an annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations.
The Serra Club of St. Louis has an inventory of Vocation Holy Cards and vocation pamphlets that we want to distribute to parishes and schools of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. Check out the currently available options.

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.
