We are a traditional Roman Catholic Church that teaches the Gospel and the Bible with clarity and enthusiasm.

We are loyal to the Magisterium – the teaching authority of the Roman Catholic Church. It is important to us that we live our beliefs, that we are witnesses of the compassionate love of Jesus for all people, that we share his message with others so that they may grow in spiritual life and find salvation. It is our goal to affirm and advance the Catholic faith.

We are a church for all the people. Any and all are welcome. Whether you are a parishioner or a visitor, young or old, Catholic or from another faith tradition, your presence in our home strengthens our community. If you make our church your home or drop in as a guest, we will treat you with dignity and respect—your presence is our honor.

We are committed to the mission of our patron St. Raphael the Archangel who, endowed with the grace of healing, was sent by God to accompany and console His people on their journey through life.

We support the journey by:

• embracing our community and our neighbors
• welcoming all spiritual travelers to our family of faith
• welcoming home those who have wandered from their Catholic faith
• encouraging personal pilgrimages to Jesus through the scriptures and sacraments
• establishing diverse ministries through which our faith community can attend to the needs of all God’s people according to Christ’s teachings
• embodying the rich traditions and teachings of the Catholic faith in our daily lives
• providing a spiritual home that is inclusive, warm and inviting; a refuge for anyone seeking serenity in the midst of everyday struggles
