The Serra Club of Knoxville welcomes you and invites you to learn more about us and to consider joining us in our mission and ministry. Serra International is global organization of Catholic laymen and laywomen. Our mission and ministry is to foster and promote vocations through prayer, awareness, affirmation and support. 

As Serra International is the lay vocation arm of the church, our mission is to foster and affirm vocations to the ministerial priesthood and vowed religious life in the United States and through this ministry further our members’ common Catholic faith.

About our Serra Club:
