Participation & Support
"Stewardship is what we do after we say we believe..."

Saint Raphael Parish is dedicated to the principles of Christian stewardship-that, as baptized people, we are called to demonstrate our faith through action.  When we acknowledge that God is the source of all that we have, we show gratitude through prayer, worship, offerings and action-giving back our time, talent and treasure to God by sharing with others.

The Vision Statement of Saint Raphael Parish says, “Parishioners create a dynamic and vital faith community through the generous sharing of their skills, experiences, time and resources.” This statement clearly recognizes that our parish depends on the energy and involvement of its members for this to be a parish that truly lives the Gospel and is a valuable part of our community.

Stewardship is how we live this vision. Saint Raphael Parish provides numerous opportunities for its members to actively participate in the life of the church and we hope that this website will help you find ways to be good stewards of your gifts.

How Can I Share My Time & Talent at Saint Raphael Parish?
Saint Raphael Parish has more than 60 active ministries that rely on parishioner involvement and leadership. There is something for everyone: whether you are young or old; well skilled or ready to learn; looking for a regular commitment or just an occasional project. You can learn about these ministries and ways to get involved by visiting the Parish Programs & Ministries pages of the website or by checking the Sunday bulletin for current opportunities.
