Saint Raphael Parish is dedicated to the principles of Christian stewardship, 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.

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.
