The Serra Club of Philadelphia extends congratulations to the recipients of the 2025 Homiletics Prizes awarded to four seminarians at the closing academic exercises at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary. 

The Serra Club of Philadelphia provided appreciation certificates to 36 parishes and schools for presentation to 304 graduating altar servers this past spring.  

The Serra Club of Philadelphia is proud to announce our club president, Jorge Ignacio Fernández, was awarded the Missionary of St. Junipero Serra Award!

The Serra Club of Philadelphia hosted the newly ordained priests for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia at its annual Mass and Luncheon on November 9.

Four prizes are awarded annually in Homiletics by the Rector of Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary, Most Reverend Timothy C. Senior, to seminarians at closing academic exercises. 

Many ordained priests of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia have told Serrans that their vocation discernment began with their experience as altar servers to their parish priests and deacons. Most served while in elementary school, while others extended their activity throughout high school.
