St. Joseph Catholic Church

July 1 is the Feast Day of St. Junípero Serra

St. Junípero Serra is the patron saint of vocations to Church ministry and is remembered for establishing many of the first Catholic missions in California. He is also the patron saint of the Serra Club.

The Serra Club is a Catholic lay organization dedicated to fostering and supporting vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Its mission is twofold:

* To pray for, encourage, support, and affirm vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
* To deepen the faith of individual Serrans and strengthen their personal relationship with Jesus Christ so they may become His more devoted disciples.

To learn more about how Serra Clubs fulfill this mission, visit the Serra USA Council at serraus.org.

To learn about the work of one of the four Serra Clubs in our Archdiocese, visit www.serrakck.org.
