The Serra Club. The year was 1934; the place was Seattle, WA, and four Catholic
friends had an idea. They decided to meet regularly over a meal to discuss how
their Christians values could be lived out in their professional lives.
Soon more friends were joining them, and within several months they had decided
an additional focus: the encouraging of vocations to the priesthood and religious
life. They chose Father Junipero Serra, the Spanish Franciscan missionary who
founded the California Missions.
