MASS AT HOME:
If you are not able to attend
Mass and participate in the
feast of the Eucharist (the body
and blood) we do believe in
being fed by the word of the
Lord. In this effect, here are
some resources that are readily
available:
*
Click to watch St. Raphael
Parish Masses.

Click to watch the Daily
TV Mass online (or view over
the television, Salt and Light, Vision

ADORATION
CHAPEL OPEN:
St. Raphael Parish Adoration
Chapel has re-opened.
For security reasons, those
wishing to pray in the chapel
during night hours (after 9pm
and before to 7am) must
register with our parish
office. Registrations cannot
be accepted by phone. Please
come to the office to register
and receive the new access

OFFERTORY: We
have received enquiries about how
parishioners might support our parish
without being physically present. Many
in our community may be facing
financial difficulties, and their
first priority must be taking care of
the needs of their families and loved
ones. If parishioners wish to continue
to support St. Raphael parish and have
the means to do so, please make
ongoing donations to our parish by
either:
(1) dropping your contributions
through the mail slot located
on the office door
(2) mailing your donation
(3) through
Canadahelps.org: St. Raphael Parish
Page. Canada Helps will
provide you with an electronic tax
receipt immediately upon making your
gift.
(4) pre-authorized giving.
