Welcome to Serra Club Hong Kong

50 Years of Labour and Love

- A brief history of Serra Club of Hong Kong

It was in the midst of Vatican Council II that the message of Serra was first brought to Hong Kong. A member of the Serra International Board of Trustees had a short stop-over at Kai Tak Airport and he made a telephone call to the Catholic Centre promoting the message of Serra.

Bishop Lawrence Bianchi was very keen on this idea and assigned Rev. Fr. Francis Hsu (Later Bishop of Hong Kong) and Rev. Fr. Joseph Carra to look into the matter.

Several enthusiastic Catholic laymen began to hold regular meetings in 1960 and the Serra Club of Hong Kong was chartered by Past International President Ralph W. Hauenstein on 25 February 1963, who also presented our club with its Serra bell.

Over the past 50 years, the club faced many ups and downs, periods of growth and attrition, times of joy and gloom - but somehow, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, it persevered to fulfill its mission.

The club is still growing and working hard towards our mission of promoting priestly and religious vocations.

Serra Prayer for Vocation

O God, Who wills not the death of a sinner, rather that he be converted and live, grant, we beseech You, through the intercession of Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, Saint Joseph, her spouse, Saint Junipero Serra and all the saints, an increase of labourers for Your Church, fellow labourers with Christ to spend and consume themselves for souls through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen.
