This is a program sponsored by the Serra Club. The Serra Club is an international group of Catholic men and women who devote their efforts to the promotion of Vocations to the Priesthood and Vowed Religious life. The 31 Club encourages members of the parish to join Catholic men and women worldwide to volunteer for one hour per month to pray for Vocations. Members can pray at home or at church. It is voluntary, but very necessary.

The Legion of Mary has two degrees of membership – active and auxiliary members. Both are centered on consecration to our Blessed Mother. Our primary purpose is evangelization to bring others to Christ. Active members focus on doing corporal and spiritual works of mercy and evangelizing and participating in the life of the parish, such as visiting and taking Holy Communion to the sick and homebound, leading rosaries and novenas, Brown Scapular investiture, rosary candlelight procession, etc. Auxiliary members pray the rosary daily and recite the Legion of Mary prayers. The spirit of the Legion of Mary is that of Mary herself. Active members meet weekly, pray the rosary and Legion prayers, followed by attending a meeting.

Our Purpose is to intercede in serious matters and emergencies, such as hospitalization, accidents, surgery, serious illness or death. Being an intercessor is more than being a petitioner. A petitioner prays, “Dear God, please heal John,” scripture tells us an intercessor “stands in the gap”

(EZ 22:30) meaning the intercessor takes the place of the person being prayed for since they are unable or incapacitated. We step in and pray for them.

The Prayer Cross is a small standing crucifix. A family will pick one up after their weekend Mass and take it home with them. Then each day as a family, pray for vocations. The following Saturday, they return the crucifix to the sacristy so it’s ready for the next family. The crucifixes are carried in small wooden boxes. Prayers are encouraged for more priests, religious brothers and sisters, but also for consecrated virgins, married couples and deacons. We need strong marriages and families and strong vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

The committee has a monthly Holy Hour to pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life, as well as, deacons, strong marriages and single. The Holy Hour has prayers, and reflection time. We meet about every other month following the Holy Hour.
