Welcome from the Serra Club of Akron

Add Headings and they will appear in your table of contents.
The Serra Club of Akron looks forward to many more years of service in the Diocese of Cleveland. We invite you to learn about the mission of Serra clubs and Serra membership by exploring our web site and/or by contacting us. Further, we invite you to pray often, even daily, the Serran Prayer for Vocations and the Prayer for Perseverance of Vocations (see below) or to pray the holy rosary with an intention for religious vocations. Also, encourage young people to consider religious vocations, especially those whom you feel may possess and exhibit the necessary qualities for service to God's people.
Serran Prayer for Vocations
O God, Who wills not the death of a sinner, but rather that he be converted and live,
grant we beseech You through the intercession of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin,
Saint Joseph, her spouse, Saint Junipero Serra, and all the saints, an increase
of laborers for your Church, fellow laborers with Christ to spend and consume
themselves for souls, though the same Jesus Christ, Your son, who lives and
reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer for the Perseverence of Vocations
O God, You have constituted Your only-begotten Son supreme and eternal Priest
for the glory of Your majesty and the salvation of mankind: grant that those
whom He has chosen ministers and dispensers of His mysteries may be found
faithful in fulfilling the ministry they have received.
