Thank you for supporting the work of St. Vincent de Paul Society

A message from St. Vincent de Paul Society at St. Raphael: Here's how the Giving Tree looked on Monday evening. Thank you, St. Raphael parishioners, for your generous and loving spirit. This is just beautiful! Your generosity helps people in our community. You can still bring gifts and place them under the tree through Monday, December 15. If you'd rather give gift certificates or checks, just drop them in the St. Vincent de Paul box next to the Giving Tree.
