Our Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, hear our prayer:

Please weave the women of St. Raphael into a beautiful tapestry of faith and friendship. Let us be woven by your Holy Spirit with our eyes and hearts set upon Christ our Savior. Help us shine with the light of Christ and draw souls to Jesus. We ask this in the name of Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Amen.

I will see you again...

"So you also are now in anguish.
But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice,
and no one will take your joy away from you."  John 16:22 


Our annual Mass of Remembrance for members of the Parish who have lost someone close to them in the past year is celebrated November.

"From the beginning the Church has honored the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may attain the beatific vision of God."  Paragraph 1032 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church
