In addition to the monthly program luncheon, Serra Club of Fort Worth also encourages attendance at the first Thursday Holy Hour of adoration and prayers for vocations.

Furthering our goal of spiritual growth and fellowship, club members attending the Holy Hour meet for dinner before or after the Holy Hour. Check the calendar on this page for the time and location of our next Holy Hour and dinner gathering.

History of Our Holy Hour for Vocations

Our current Holy Hour service evolved from what was originally a monthly vigil of overnight adoration culminating with Mass on the first Friday morning. The monthly nocturnal adorations were held at local churches. The club invited members of the churches to join us in the nocturnal adorations.

In recent years, the club has been able to secure for some of its Holy Hours, one of the six monstrances blessed by the late Pope John Paul II on November 24, 2004. These monstrances were consecrated for use during the Year of the Eucharist for people to pray for an increase of vocations to ordained ministry and consecrated life. The monstrances were designated for Eucharistic adoration for vocations for each major continent or geographical area around the world as a symbol of the connection between the Eucharist and priestly vocations.
