Our Mission Statement is… to foster and affirm vocations to the priesthood and vowed religious life in the Diocese of El Paso through this ministry and affirm our members' common Catholic faith. |
“Prayer moves the heart of God.” “The role of the Serrans fits very well into the mission of the Church because they encourage pastors and laity alike to promote vocations,” the Holy Father concluded. |
Pope John Paul II in his address to Serra International in December of 2000 said: |
“The whole Church must become completely ministerial, a community of heralds and witnesses, rich in laborers for the harvest,” he said. “Prayer moves the heart of God.” |

St Charles Borromeo Seminary
|
At the present time, the Diocese of El Paso has 13 seminarians studying for the priesthood.
They are dedicated men on a long journey to becoming priests. Their education requires nine years of schooling and preparation, consisting of undergraduate study in Philosophy, graduate study in Theology and parish internship.
The Serra Club of El Paso encourages and guides young men who have expressed interest in pursuing a religious life. The club is part of the Diocese’s effort to develop vocations.
We have enclosed photographs under support and class status of each of our seminarians so that you may recognize them when they are visiting you parish. When you see them, give them a word of encouragement and a “pat on the back!” They are the future of our Church!
We are asking your aid with a donation, whatever amount, to help these Seminarians during their school year. We need your help!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY,
Liz Carl, President
