Founded in 1958, the members of the Serra Club of DuPage County encourage and affirm vocations to the priesthood and religious life through prayer and active fellowship. Though a member of the international vocation apostolate, Serra International, the club devotes most of its energies to fostering and promoting vocations in the Diocese of Joliet.
