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 TV).

* Click for Pope Francis' Prayer for Spiritual Communion.

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 code.

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. Click for pre-authorized giving registration form or pick up a form in the parish welcoming area.

NEW MEMBERS: As a new member of St. Raphael Parish we encourage you to introduce yourself to our hospitality team as well as register as a new member.

SYNOD 2021 - 2023: For more information on the Synod of the Family visit the Hamilton Diocese website.

Welcome to our Parish

St. Raphael Parish has been serving our parishioners since 1958. Today, our parish continues in a great tradition of hospitality. We are a welcoming community who come together to share in the Sunday Eucharist, and we extend a warm invitation to you to join us for one of our Masses. We also invite you to peruse the website to see the wonderful ministries being done by our parishioners and to consider becoming a participant. If you are a parent of young children, you will also find information on sacraments and to our schools, St. Raphael, St. Paul and Assumption High School. There are many venues to meet other people of our faith. We also have a strong RCIA program for those who want to convert to Catholicism. We are committed to the spiritual growth of the parish and in serving the Catholic population of this community and welcome you to become a part of a truly wonderful parish community.
