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.
