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 three program’s:

• TMIY Thy Kigndom Call (Fall and Winter)
• Bishop Barron: Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Lively Virtues (Spring 2024)

We will meet in person Saturdays at 6:30 AM in the Trumpet Room. For more information or registration, contact us via email at bdekowzan@gmail.com or danielrueda@yahoo.com or register here.

Discover that the kingdom of God is not of this world yet within your midst and your heart. Overthrow the power of sin and usher in a new way of living. Cultivate an eternal perspective as a prerequisite for kingdom living. Boldly proclaim the kingdom in both word and deed. Become the authentic Catholic leader our world, our church and our families so desperately need. Discover the greatest treasure of the human heart and allow the reign of Jesus Christ to permeate every aspect of your life.

Set your eyes on the ultimate prize of eternal life with perseverance and precision. Experience a journey into the heart of the kingdom and heart of the Father. Together with a band of brothers, embark upon the narrow road to salvation as opposed to the superhighway of perdition. Experience the joy and the feast awaiting within the Father’s house. Claim your royal dignity and inheritance. The spring semester is practical, profound and even prophetic.

•  Confront the worldly kingdoms and spiritual evils of our day. 
• Discover exactly what it takes to overthrow an empire and inherit the kingdom of God. 
• Discover a new way, a new outlook, and a new perspective on this life and the next.
 • Wrestle with the mysteries of a kingdom “not of this world” yet simultaneously “within you”. 
• Learn to acquire the taste for the kingdom of heaven with food for both the body and the soul. 
• Contemplate a powerful, modern day prophecy and discern its profound implications. 
• Experience the transformation of God through personal testimonies that will touch the hardest of hearts. 
• Embrace the God of mercy and experience His superabundant compassion and love.
