Santa comes to the Santa Breakfast
Photos by Jane Winstead
The highlight of the Cub Scouts/Knights of Columbus Santa Breakfast was, of course, Santa. Throngs of St. Raphael families turned out for the annual event. Knights prepared the delicious pancakes, eggs and sausage breakfast and Cub Scouts were the servers. The breakfast was also a successful fundraiser. Nearly $700 in proceeds will be presented to Pinellas Hope, the diocese homeless shelter.

Help us with the rummage sale
By Denise DebordAre you starting to clean out closets in anticipation of the holidays and holiday visitors? Are you downsizing or do you know friends or family who are moving or downsizing? If so, CCW has a way to help you out.
The St. Raphael Chapter of the Council of Catholic Women will hold its annual Pack Rat Rummage Sale on Saturday, January 21, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Every year the event gets bigger and better but to insure this we need donations. This year I have some storage space available for those of you who have some items and don't have anywhere to store them until the sale. The space is somewhat limited but it is available so let me know and we'll try to make whatever arrangements we can.
Volunteers have signed up to help with the event but we still need more volunteers to help not just on Friday, January 20 with the set up and Saturday, January 21 with the sale, but with helping to receive and sort the items in the afternoons the week of January 16 through the 19.
And please, don't think that this is a ladies only event. We need to enlist the help of husbands, daughters and sons. Every year we have a few more teens and men helping out but we always need more help.
This is an opportunity for the teens, school, parents—all of our parish organizations to pull together to make this a fun, successful fundraiser. This year's festival showed how much we can do if we all support each other. I'm asking that you redirect this message so I can get the word out to everyone.
We could use some additional storage space so if anyone has a bit of extra room in their garage or storage unit that we could utilize for a few months it would be greatly appreciated. We also need volunteers who have a truck or van and can help out with transporting some of the items to and from storage and the church.
Please contact me by phone or email if you have items to donate, have some space or a truck or can spare some time to volunteer. You can reach me at home at (727) 526-7580 or on my cell at (727) 502-2761 or with this email address wdebord727@yahoo.com
Look forward to hearing from a lot of you. Thanks.

Last Lenten Fish Fry of the season
This is the last Friday for the Lenten Fish Fry. After this, no more Lenten Fish Fry until next year.
It is also the last chance you'll have to enter the raffle for a mini-vacation at the Trade Winds Resort on St. Pete Beach. Your $5 ticket could be the winner. It's worth a shot, right? Besides all proceeds go to help support the Youth ministry at St. Raphael so even if you don't win the resort prize you still win, right?
Play the video above and see just why it is worth your while to buy a chance to win this prize.
The festivities begin at 5:30 p.m. with the famous St. Raphael fish dinner, beer and wine and other beverages, desserts galore. Everything continues on until 8 p.m. in the Parish Center so if you can't get there right at 5:30, don't worry about it. There will be plenty of food left later. Don't be too late, though. It does end at 8 p.m.
