(1) dropping your contributions through the mail slot located on the office door
(2) mailing your donation

Welcome to our Parish

St. Raphael Parish has been serving our parishioners since 1958. Today, our parish continues in a great tradition of hospitality. We are a welcoming community who come together to share in the Sunday Eucharist, and we extend a warm invitation to you to join us for one of our Masses. We also invite you to peruse the website to see the wonderful ministries being done by our parishioners and to consider becoming a participant. If you are a parent of young children, you will also find information on sacraments and to our schools, St. Raphael, St. Paul and Assumption High School. There are many venues to meet other people of our faith. We also have a strong RCIA program for those who want to convert to Catholicism. We are committed to the spiritual growth of the parish and in serving the Catholic population of this community and welcome you to become a part of a truly wonderful parish community.
