How to Stay Updated with Serra News and Publications

Updated

Serra publishes several recurring news and publication channels, and serraus.org gathers them in one place. If you want to follow Serra's news, magazines, and newsletters, the site offers a magazine with a current issue and an archive, a bi-monthly newsletter, and an email subscribe option. The sections below explain what each channel is and how to reach it.

The Serran Magazine

The Serran is Serra's flagship publication. According to the site, it has run for more than 50 years and provides in-depth news, event coverage, and inspiration for promoting vocations.

On serraus.org you can reach it through two entry points:

  • Latest Issue – the most recent edition of the magazine.
  • Magazine Archives – back issues for earlier coverage.

The most recent issue listed on the site is The Serran – September 2026, which recaps Serra's 81st International Convention in New Orleans, including keynotes and strategic discussions on vocations, introduces the newly appointed 2024–2025 International Board, and shares updates from the Eucharistic Congress.

Newsletters

Serra maintains more than one newsletter channel:

Publication Cadence / Role
Always Forward, Never Back Bi-monthly newsletter for the latest news and updates from Serra International
Serra Connects Listed among recent news items (Serra Connects July 2026)

The site also lists a dated item, Always Forward Never Back – Sept. 23, 2026, alongside the October 2026 Leadership Planning Calendar.

Subscribing by Email

The site provides an email subscribe entry point under a "Stay Connected" section. After submitting your email, the site displays a "Success!" confirmation, meaning the subscription request was accepted. Subscribing is the way to receive the latest news and updates directly rather than checking the site manually.
