| History of Group | ||
| For years, thanks to their history of hosting dinners and golf outings for priests and seminarians, the popular image of the Serrans has been that of a "knife-and-fork club." The style is changing as Serra Clubs now also promote vocations actively, for example, through their Called by Name program, by which members seek to identify people who have the qualities for priesthood and religious life. | ||
