545 1 |a Serra was founded in 1934 by Harold Haberlie, Dan Rooney, Leo Sharkey and Richard Ward in Seattle, Washington, and was named in honor of Father Serra Junipero. The first Serra club, a Catholic Service Club, was chartered in Seattle with 35 members in 1935. In 1938 Serra became Serra International and the first official Serra Club outside of the United States was chartered in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, in 1943. The mandate of Serra International is to foster and promote vocations in the Catholic Church and to aid in financing the education of seminarians. This work is international in scope and has at times focues on minorities and underserved populations including African Americans. In 1946, under the auspices of Samuel Cardinal Stricth, the headquarters of Serra International moved to Chicago, IL, where it remains today. In 1986 Serra International women were given full membership status in the organizations. Since 1934 Serra has chartered 1,109 Serra Clubs in 46 countries on six continents.
