Dearest Lord,
teach us to be generous. Teach us to serve You as You deserve; doing those deeds that You give us to do. To give from our treasure and not to count the cost To give of our time and not to seek for rest. To give of our talent and not to ask for reward, save that of knowing that we do Your will. (adapted from the Prayer for Generosity, attributed to St. Ignatius of Loyola.) |

In the last century Msgr. Gerald Lewis put St. Raphael parish on the road to realize its potential by undertaking a facilities expansion campaign. Our beautiful sanctuary endures as a legacy of that first phase.
At the outset of this century, St. Raphael parish continued the dream by undertaking the “Spreading Our Wings” campaign. This 2nd phase built St. Raphael’s school, our Mary Chapel, and renovated the Church and parish offices.
St. Raphael parish is now at the threshold of the third and final phase of the expansion plan: the building of the St. Raphael Activities Center (SRAC). This badly needed, multi-use building will benefit all aspects of parish life, from school activities, such as physical education classes and indoor sports, to parish social events, and events of the surrounding community.
This finishing and essential piece of our plan will allow the St. Raphael parish community to reach the same standard for facilities set by other leading Catholic parishes in the Diocese. It will allow us to better grow as a vibrant parish community with an excellent school. The Activity Center will move the wings that have been spread to now
enfold around parish and school.
• To be completed by 2010
• Multi-purpose use for the entire parish
• Physical education classes
• Parish activities & events
• Civic & community usage
We ask each parishioner to prayerfully consider a sacrificial gift to our campaign. Please remember that your gift can be made over a pledge period of 3 years and is in addition to your weekly stewardship offering to the general parish collection.
