Stewardship is a way of life. It is a way of living each day in gratitude for all the blessings that God has given to us. The roots of stewardship can be found in the Bible, which tells us over and over that God is the Creator and Giver of all gifts. It is our responsibility to show our gratitude to God for these gifts, by giving back to Him the “first fruits.”
We do not own the gifts God gives to us. We are only here on earth to use those gifts to do God’s work. Through the generous donations of our St. Raphael families the long tradition of pastoral care for all our parishioners continues. Those same generous donations also help to guarantee the finest education and religious instruction for our children.
Our pastor and our Parish Finance Committee urge everyone to sign up to use the St. Raphael Online Giving portal hosted and managed by Our Sunday Visitor, the same organization that provides our offertory envelopes.
