St. Raphael - St. Patrick Pastoral Care

Recently, we have had a number of parishioners in the hospital and we had no way of knowing they were patients. We call the hospitals on a regular basis to find out who is in the hospital from the Cathedral or St. Patrick's so we may visit them. However, if your name is not on our parish list, we have no way of knowing that you are in the hospital. If you are admitted to the hospital, please inform the hospital about your parish so that we can remember you in our thoughts and prayers.

Service Opportunities

We must have an inner disposition to be of service to others. Just as Jesus was, we must be - for others. And we must be for others, even when this is not easy. We must be for others when this is unpopular. We must be for others when this is humiliating. We must be for others when this hurts our sense of self-importance. We must be for others even when this costs us, even when it is inconvenient, when it is embarrassing, no matter the occasion or setting. That is the call to all of us.

-- Archbishop Jerome Hanus - Holy Thursday
