Father Tim Sherwood's first homily appropriately included an American flag on the Fourth of July. Father Tim said he often uses props during his homilies. Father Tim greeted parishioners after Mass. After the 9:30 a.m. Mass, there was a reception for St. Raphael's new pastor in the Parish Center. Of course, there was cake! And parishioners introduced themselves to Father Tim at the reception.
