FORMING CATECHISTS
Aware of the importance of forming catechists in the Catholic
Faith, the Diocese, through the Doorways to Formation in the
Faith program, offers catechist certification courses based on
the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This adult formation
program for the Diocese of Raleigh, provides lay men and
women with a foundation in the tenets of the Catholic Faith, so
that they can posses a depth of knowledge and understanding
of the teaching of the Catholic Faith and impart the faith to
those children, youth and adults that they are called to
catechize and teach. The framework currently in place offers
six courses, each twelve hours in length, for Basic Level
catechist certification.
The Creed Course - This Level I course begins on November 1,
8:30 AM - 3:00 PM in Room 109, and meets for two sessions.
The Creed presents a theological foundation in the doctrine of
the faith. Participants will deepen their knowledge of the basic
beliefs stated in the Creed. Integral to each session is prayer,
course content, faith sharing, and large/small group discussion
so that participants can apply the teachings to their life and
ministry. Required text is United States Catholic Catechism for
Adults, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops,
Washington, DC, 2006. Please see link below to register. To
RSVP please visit: https://event-wizard.com/

Leo Moreda at [email protected] or 865-5708.
MARK YOUR SPOT—Have you placed your pin on our big
maps in the atrium? St. Raphael is blessed to have parishioners from around the country and the world. Show us
where you came from, whether it is down the road or
across the oceans, we are honored you are here as part of
our Catholic and universal church!
What an exciting week it was at the Preschool! We had our
annual Scholastic Book Fair.
Dear Saint Raphael Families,
Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. The leaves are
changing, shorts and t-shirts are being put away for jeans and
sweatshirts, and at Saint Raphael Catholic School, things you
would expect to see during this season are starting to appear!
Who's up for a little school spirit? At the end of each
sports season, we hold a pep rally for our sports teams. This
Tuesday was our first pep rally of the year recognizing our
boys soccer, girls volleyball, and cross country teams. The
event also featured several "Minute to Win It" games where
students and staff members participated in fun challenges and
contests. The staff (including Fr. Hurley) took on a volleyball
challenge, but unfortunately neither us nor the soccer team
was any match for our Lady Guardian volleyball team. The pep
rally was a fun and memorable day for all Guardians!
The All 80s Dinner and Gala is fast approaching! The
event will be held on Saturday, November 8, at 6:30 PM in
Ignatius Hall. This will surely be a fun night with lots of
memories from the decade of Rubix Cube, Mtv, and "great"
music. We have some great auction items including an
amazing trip to Disney, sports packages, and many other
exciting items! Whether you're a parent at our school or not,
make plans to be at the All 80s Dinner and Gala. Tickets are on
sale at www.saintraphaelschoool.org/gala.

Raphael in the next week! It is always exciting to welcome

Christ + Academics + Family
The hallways were full of bookcases filled with wonderful
books that sparked the imagination and interest of our
preschoolers. Many of our moms and dads purchased books
for their little ones as well as books for the classrooms. As part
of our celebration of books, the Cubs’ class made a list of their
favorite books and dictated a book of their own. We also had
special guest readers during the week. Ms. Jennifer, the twoyear old teacher, read a book about Fall, and Ms. Sadler, our
movement teacher, read a book about leaves. The week was
all about making reading fun!
Our Preschool offers children opportunities to make friends,
grow in self-confidence, and prepare for future academic
success—all while having fun in a secure, nurturing, faith-filled
environment. All of our teachers are certified/credentialed and
lovingly foster students’ social-emotional, spiritual, physical
and academic growth. Visit www.StRaphaelPreschool.org or
call 865-5728 for more information and/or to schedule a tour.

with procession to the Columbarium.
Your Vocations Committee asks you join with us as we pray
the following prayer for vocations:
Father in heaven, you sent us your only Son to redeem us and to
build your kingdom on earth. Please give us the wisdom and
strength we need to follow His call. Grant to the faithful a spirit of
generosity, that Church vocations may flourish. Bless our priests
with holiness and courage, that they may lead your people to
Christ. Help all sisters and brothers to fulfill their sacred promises
and so be effective signs of your kingdom. Lord, invite more men
and women to your service. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
This service of remembrance is for anyone who is grieving the loss
of a loved one, whether or not they were parishioners, had their
funeral here or lived in another area, are inurned here or elsewhere.

one, and celebrate our risen Lord, especially if you find this hard.

EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION
TRAINING—A Training session for Extraordinary Ministers of
Holy Communion (EMHCs, formerly Eucharistic Ministers), will
be held in the Church Sanctuary on Thursday, October 30, at

Join us Saturdays after 5:30 PM Mass:
How do you cope during a season of hope, anticipation and
celebration, a time of family gatherings and command
performances, when traditions and society’s expectations feel
like huge burdens? Loss, loneliness and memories combine to
make this a very hard time of year for those walking in grief.
Come spend some time with folks who understand, learn a
few strategies and stress reducers, gain a new perspective
and give yourself permission to approach things differently.
Please register for this event, connect with Janet Schirripa, Lay
Ministry Support Coordinator, to reserve your spot.

many dimensions of grief; spiritual, psychological and day

Monthly drop-in gathering, an informal facilitated time to
share with others when events, dates, or day to day life

perspective or perhaps for different reasons.
The new Bereavement Network between parishes will be

READ & FEED LAUNCHED THIS MONTH!
42 children have registered for the free tutoring program
offered on Wednesday evenings! Children come hungry, have
a quick meal, and then work with our volunteer tutors to
strengthen skills and instill a love for reading. Each student has
a new book bag, access to a wonderful library and an
enthusiastic partner as they grow into strong readers.
DO YOU LOVE WEDDINGS? Can you see yourself assisting our
Priests as they perform these beautiful, memorable
ceremonies? We are in the process of developing teams of
Wedding Coordinators. The role of a wedding coordinator
includes greeting and directing the bridal parties during the
wedding rehearsals, working in conjunction with the priests as
they walk through the ceremony, and assisting at the
ceremony itself. If you are interested, please contact Mickey
McGoldrick at 865-5705 or [email protected].
Could you be a tutor?
We still have a need for volunteers, as the response from our
children has been twice what we expected! Tutors attend a
training by Read and Feed staff, have a diocesan background
check, and take Safe Environment Training. Tutors work with
students 6:45-8:00 PM each Wednesday in the Lewis Room.
Perhaps you are being called to be that someone special in a
child’s life, a partner as they discover the wonders between
the covers of a book. Volunteer support could also take the
form of program helpers and substitute tutors.
For more information please connect with John Griswold at
[email protected] or 617-828-4492.
THE POPE FRANCIS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY HOME is
progressing well. On October 18, several parishioners
volunteered to truly make it a St. Raphael build day! The roof
is on and windows are in, ensuring a place to work out of the
elements in the coming months. A lot has been accomplished,
but much still remains to be done. If you have not volunteered
