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. We are dedicated to the 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

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

During the this year we will study two program’s: TMIY: All Things New and Evangelization with Chris Stephanick.

We will meet in person Saturdays at 6:30 AM in the Trumpet Room. A Zoom link will be provided for those that are not able to attend in person. For more information or registration, contact us via email at bdekowzan@gmail.com  danielrueda@yahoo.com or register here.

That Man is You: All Things New
This program is focused on the development of male leadership in the modern world. It combines the best research from science with the teachings of the Catholic faith and the wisdom of the saints to develop the vision of authentic men capable of transforming themselves, their families and greater society.

Christ didn’t say, “Behold, I make new things.” He said, “Behold, I make all things new.” A new day is dawning for Catholic men. Now is our hour! The future of the world and the Church is happening on our watch. His mercy is new every morning. A new hope is rising!

We are all on a mission. Do you know what it is? Have you planned the goals and oriented your life to achieve it? Pope Paul VI famously said, "the Church exists to evangelize" - that is, to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples.

Spreading the Gospel and inviting others into a relationship with Christ is not just the priest's job; it is the responsibility of all baptized Catholics. What does that look like in our modern world? How do we do it effectively? Let renowned speaker, writer, and expert Chris Stefanick teach you his tried and true methods of spreading the Gospel, that is, evangelization. In his three hour course, Chris breaks down the why, the how, and the what of effective ministry to help Catholics of all backgrounds fulfill the Church's mission.
