Important Reminders

[Fr. Ignatius Valentine]

Hello dear members and friends of St. Raphael Parish!

Please join us this coming Sunday for Liturgy at 10 AM and a farewell potluck coffee hour at around noon to give our best wishes to Fr. Ignatius and Kh. Maria as they head to their new parish in Cedarburg, WI. This is our last Sunday with them; please come!

Then, come again for a welcome potluck coffee hour on Sunday, August 6, as we embrace our new pastor, Fr. Symeon Kees, and his family, Kh. Jing, Marina, Genevieve, and Alexander! We want to give them a big, warm welcome, so we hope that everyone will show up to meet our new clergy family. Note that August 6 falls on the Feast of the Transfiguration during the Dormition Fast, so any dishes you bring to share can include fish, wine, and oil, but should exclude meat, dairy and eggs. 

Finally, if you wish to contribute to our cash parting gift for Fr. Ignatius and Kh. Maria, please clearly mark your donation as such and place it in a donation box, give directly to our treasurer, Becky Morey, or give through our website with a clear note about the intended use. Thank you!

Love in Christ,

Alli Rockwell

Parish Council Chair
