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.

The promise of mercy




As we journey towards Easter our hearts begin to be opened to the promise of Mercy.  Pope Francis announced this year to be the extraordinary jubilee Year of Mercy.
But what does that really mean?  What is mercy and how is it practiced?

Behold, the mercy of the cross—
The Blood of Christ poured out to heal us.
