Younger students

The St Raphael work is not limited to older students, but includes also younger ones, like those in secondary school. Since they are students, it can be very useful to have professional orientation seminars to help them choose a career. Or they could have courses on some subject they don’t study at school, or a series of lectures on current issues, suited to their mentality.

Small children

We have to reach even younger boys and girls, so that, from an early age, they begin to get to know and to practise in some way the basic part of our spirit. You have to find a suitable way of keeping them entertained when they come together: a formative game, some practical classes aimed at developing manual skills, and so on.

Scout groups

You can organise a club for them, or even set up a scout troop, so long as you have sufficient autonomy in its organisation. That way you can help them improve, and also speak to them about God and teach them to live as Christians. It is a work of instruction which requires a lot of patience and supernatural spirit, but which will be very fruitful.
