Serra Club

Today, we went to Holy Cross for the Inauguration Mass of the Serra Club of Singapore. This Serra Club is part of Serra International, which is an international organisation of lay people dedicated to fostering and promoting vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life. Most of the information that I have, can be found on their website, www.serrasingapore.org or at the Serra International Website. You check it out yourself.

Personally, I am thankful for this wonderful group of people. They are originally the Vocation Promotion Team of Holy Cross Church. And they are a dedicated bunch of men and women, who have worked tirelessly over the last 4 years concentrating on promoting vocations not only in Holy Cross, but also in Singapore. They have been helping out in the Vocation Retreats and I must say it was really inspiring for me, to attend a retreat knowing that there was always a group of them in the prayer room 24hrs non-stop praying for us. Even while we were sleeping they were praying.

And as I found out, to be a member of the Serra Club really is a dedication of oneself. Not just about organising activities, it also requires each member to take their own spiritual life and Christian vocation seriously. They meet twice a month, once for planning of activities and the other for spiritual development. At the dinner they also offered our Bishop a Spiritual Cheque of Perpetual Friday Masses and 15 decades of the rosary daily. No wonder they say that to join the Serra Club is itself a calling.
