Dear Friends:
I want to welcome all to our parish of St. Raphael and Mission San Rafael Arcangel. I trust you will discover here
in downtown San Rafael a vibrant community of faith. We are a diverse community, yet we are united by one faith, one baptism,
one Lord.
As you visit our website which is based on our programs and services guide, you will quickly realize how many ministries and services
our parish provides. The spirituality of stewardship, sharing of time, talent, and treasure, motivates our community to
serve our parishioners as well as those beyond our specific parish boundaries.
Whether you have been a long time member of our Parish community or a recent one, all are invited to review this site as
a means of discerning how best and to what extent you can exercise your baptismal call to serve as faithful stewards.
I want you to know how much I appreciate your active involvement in the life of our parish. Remembering always you are the Church,
together may we go forth living as true disciples of Christ, serving the many and various needs of our brothers and sisters in the
spirit of the Gospel.
