Sr. Ruth Platte, SLW 

Being of service to others was instilled in me from my earliest days growing up in a large family and being raised in a small town rural environment.  In my village, our Catholic Church and school were the center of our lives and we learned to care for the whole parish family.

My journey in ministry as a teacher, Director of Religious Education and Pastoral Associate has carried me to the inner city of Chicago, to the rural parishes of Minnesota, to city and country parishes in Louisiana and Illinois and even to the “hollers” of Kentucky.  The key focus for me has been to bring new life to those along the way who seemed to be without hope.  Several years I was privileged to be a director of Catholic Charities of Chicago South Suburban Office.

Today I am engaged in ministry where I am able to use gifts of organization and leadership in order to continue to help people find life, especially while they experience severe change and transition.  At present, I am working in the Office of Faith Formation/Catechetics in the Archdiocese of Detroit.  Perhaps more than any other time of my life I am able to witness to what the living Word of God is doing among us—calling us to work together, then bringing life out of darkness and chaos.
