About the Serra Trust Fund

Serra Trust Fund for Vocations is comprised of 7 clubs within the Archdiocese of Denver. Our committee members review grant requests submitted from seminarians seeking financial assistance. Many of these grants are from seminarians requesting reimbursement for medical expenses, books, and auto repair. Grant requests can also assist some who might have emergency travel needs, or for a mission that they have been assigned.

Since 1986 the main fundraiser for the Trust Fund is our annual banquet to honor a particular priest, deacon, or nun who has exemplified service to God, to his parish, and the broader community. Members for the Serra clubs attend the banquet to support the fund.
