Serra International is an organization of Catholic men and women seeking to help the Church by fostering vocations to the priesthood and religious life. We take our name from Blessed Father Junipero Serra, missionary and founder of numerous California missions. The Holy Father has called the Serrans "The vocation arm of the Church." There are currently 794 Serra clubs with 23,860 members in 37 countries. There are eight clubs in the Galveston-Houston Diocese. Our club consists of members from Christ the Good Shepherd, Prince of Peace, and St. Ignatius Loyola parishes.

The Serra Club of Spring-1960 Area meets two times a month [on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month].  The second Wednesday is usually a business meeting and is held at Christ the Good Shepherd Church. The fourth Wednesday is the program meeting and is held at various locations. The Spring-1960 Area Club promotes vocation projects such as:

• Parish Vocation Committees and 31 Clubs
  
• Vocation Awareness and Affirmation
  
• Vocation Cross and Eucharistic Adoration
  

• Home Masses
  
• Speakers
  
• Vocation Videos
  
• Dinners and Conventions
  

Serra International is an organization that fosters and promotes vocations to the Catholic priesthood and religious life, and to encourage its members to fulfill their own Christian vocation to service.

Four Catholic laypersons formed the first Serra club in 1935 in Seattle, Washington. The founding Serrans chose as their organization's patron Blessed Father Junipero Serra, the 18th-century Franciscan missionary to Mexico and California. Serra is aggregated to the Sacred Council for Catholic Education and the Pontifical Work for Priestly Vocations. In 1986, Serra International voted to welcome women as well as men to membership in the organization.
