Mater Dei Council 9774 was chartered in 1988 at St. Raphael’s in Rockville, MD and currently has over 160 members who participate in a wide variety of charitable activities.

 The council prides itself on the activities that it conducts. These include the very large Garage-to-Attic charity sale in June, the Columbus Day Car Raffle, Tootsie Roll Drive to assist the mentally disadvantaged, and breakfast with Santa, among others.

Mater Dei Council publishes “The Blue Mantle” monthly newsletter. Council meetings are held at St. Raphael’s Catholic Community on the second Thursday of every month at 7:30 pm. Mater Dei Council welcomes new members.
