St. Raphael Young Adult Formation Introduces series on "Happiness"

NOVEMBER 29 7:00PM

Are you looking for happiness and fulfillment? Are you wondering how to find it? Beginning Tuesday, November 29 at 7pm in the Rectory, the Young Adult Faith Formation group will begin a 7-week course on the meaning of happiness. This 7-week series is designed to answer the most fundamental questions affecting our lives — our happiness, purpose, dignity, and sense of destiny:

1. What is happiness — and how can we be optimally happy?
2. What makes life worth living — and even optimally worth living?
3. Do we have a transcendent eternal soul through which God calls us to himself?
4. Why does God allow suffering — and how can we suffer well?

The authors of this program selected world-renowned experts in these four areas to present the most contemporary scientific, medical, psychological, philosophical, and theological evidence to answer these questions. All young adults in their 20s and 30s are invited. 

For questions, please email straphaelyoungadults@gmail.com

St. Raphael Website

Welcome to the St. Raphael website!

We're excited to launch the new St. Raphael Parish website. With this big step into the world of technology, the parish team’s goal is to make it easier for current parishioners and new parishioners to connect to the church, and for ministries to reach out to parishioners about events, meetings, and gatherings. Throughout the website, you'll find ways to connect to everything happening with the St. Raphael community. Also, you'll find ways to receive holy sacraments through St. Raphael. We hope this website inspires you to be a bigger part of ministry and church life. Thank you for your continued support and God Bless!
