About us

St. Raphael’s Men’s Fellowship is a group of Catholic men who meet Saturday morning to grow in faith, friendship and strengthen connections across our parish.   Our mission of serving the men of the parish in the formation and growth of their relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. 

The intention of the program is to lead members on a path of discipleship where members will be able to:

·         Learn the Faith

·         Live The Faith

·         Put Faith in Action

·         Evangelize the Faith

The Fellowship is one of the Faith in Action programs of Mater Dei - Knights of Columbus’ Council.

Program for 2019-2020 
 
Our new program –   TMIY: The Fight of Faith –  equips and enables men to engage in the cosmic, spiritual battle raging in our day.  Men will rediscover and reclaim their identities as soldiers, saints, brothers, disciples, sons of God and friends of Christ.
Discover authentic Christian masculinity and
enter into the cosmic battle that has been raging since the fall of
the angels. Rediscover and reclaim our identity as soldiers, saints,
brothers, disciples, and apostles. Encounter practical tools that
aid in spiritual defense and development. Enter into a deeper
understanding of the Word of God.
