November 25: We had 52 moms attend for this month’s evening gathering! It was a marvelous mash-up of crafting and festivity to kick-off the beautiful anticipation of the Advent Season! We had a “main crafting room,” a “stationary room” for writing a prayer card, and a little refreshments and fare room too. There was a display table with more info about how to light the candles, as well as other faith-based Christmas books and activities to browse, including “The Giving Manger,” and “Mary on the Mantel.
October 25: Nikki Schuiling orchestrated a beautiful evening for October! We hosted Megan Barhart from Waterleaf Women’s Center and got to learn about the beautiful mission of this life-saving organization.
June 2025: Family outing to a Kane County Cougars game! We had a great turn out of 12 St. Raphael families for this Friday evening family social! Lawn seats were a great way to let the kids run around while the parents mingled and watched the game.
April 2025: workout warriors! We went off campus for a fun evening of an outdoor, peer-led workout at Gartner Park, followed by a social hour at Bottoms Up.
March 2025: Another lovely evening gathering! Father Steve spoke to us about building our “domestic churches,” and then home-schooling mom of four, Rachel Dickinson, gave us some insights on her experience of bolstering her household’s faith formation with facets of liturgical living.
We had a great turnout at our February meeting discussing the book Good Inside
